Autobiographical Elements in the select novels of Virginia Woolf: A Critical Study

Abstract

Virginia Stephen was perhaps the English language's most important autobiographical author. Virginia's works are very experimental, and they mirror her own experiences. In the characters' receptive awareness, a storey that is usually boring and banal is refracted and, at times, virtually dissolved. Virginia Woolf evidently persuaded her own inspirations in her key characters in her autobiographical books. She never attempted to portray any of the characters in her works from the outside. She continued into the heart of their nature, bringing to light what was vital in her family and around her. According to the critics, Virginia Woolf's autobiographical books include The Voyage Out (1915), Mrs. Dalloway (1925), and To the Lighthouse (1927).  Virginia Woolf's letters, diaries, and essays capture the essence of her social life. It is addressed in the following chapters by the researcher. Virginia constructed a fictitious universe that was not a reflection of the real world, but rather one built in the image of her own delicate sensitivities; a better world, maybe, but a bodiless world. The present paper aims to study the autobiographical elements as reflected in her novels.
