Virginia Woolf (1882—1941)　English writer whose novels, through their nonlinear approaches to narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre. While she is best known for her novels, especially Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), Woolf also wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women's writing, and the politics of power. A fine stylist, she experimented with several forms of biographical writing, composed painterly short fictions, and sent to her friends and family a lifetime of brilliant letters.

弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫（1882—1941）　英国作家。在小说领域，以其非线性叙事手法产生了重大影响。伍尔夫以小说创作最为人知，其中尤以《黛洛维夫人》（1925）、《到灯塔去》（1927）两篇为甚。小说创作之余，她还就艺术理论、文学史、女性写作、权力政治等主题提笔书写，拓展文脉。作为一名优秀的文学批评家，伍尔夫尝试过多种形式的自传体创作形式，以绘画手法构思短篇虚构作品，并且，终其一生与亲友往来通信，才情卓然。
