Her longer essays, \u2018A Room of One\u2019s Own\u2019 (1929) and \u2018Three Guineas\u2019 (1938), stand as some of the most convincing and influential feminist tracts ever written.<\/p>\n<p>Her colourful circle of family and friends, known as The Bloomsbury Group, consisted of leading writers, thinkers, artists and performers and Elizabeth Wright scours their letters, along with Woolf\u2019s diaries and memoir papers, to illuminate the mind of a literary genius.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Wright\u2019s new biography sheds light on the life and writing of one of the foundational authors of twentieth-century British and European fiction and explodes some of the commonly held myths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1015"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2277,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015\/revisions\/2277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etudes-woolfiennes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
