Considered one of the best of the Modernist writers, Virginia Woolf's own life has been almost as intriguing as her fiction. Troubled by mental instability for most of her life, Virginia composed her great works in burst of manic energy and with the support of her brilliant friends and family. However, upon compilation of a book, Virginia fell into a dangerously dark depression and anticipation of the world's reaction to her work. Despite her personal difficulties, Virginia Woolf's fiction represented a shifts in both structure and style. The world was changing; literature needed to change too, if it was to properly and honestly convey the new realities.
