INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO

Virginia Woolf changed how novels could tell a story. From her childhood in Victorian London to the conversations of Bloomsbury, the founding of the Hogarth Press and the creation of Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and Orlando, this episode follows the life behind her literary experiments. Discover her partnership with Leonard Woolf, her relationship with Vita Sackville-West and the arguments about women's independence that shaped A Room of One's Own. It is a story of imagination, determination, personal loss and a lasting influence on how we understand the inner lives of others.
