Virginia Stephen c. 1912
Introduction
One of the twentieth century’s most
brilliant and innovative writers, Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
remains a subject of literary and cultural scholarship world wide.
Her contribution to modernism, which includes the novels Mrs Dalloway
(1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), is impossible to overstate. The
archive of her papers at the University of Sussex is known as the Monks
House Papers, named after the Woolfs’ house at nearby Rodmell
in East Sussex.
The papers at Sussex are those which Leonard Woolf made available to
Virginia’s nephew Quentin Bell for the purpose of writing her
official biography. They complement both the Leonard Woolf Archive
at Sussex and the holdings of Virginia Woolf manuscripts in the New
York Public Library and the British Library.
