Virginia Woolf, orig. Adeline Virginia Stephen, (born Jan. 25, 1882, London, Eng.—died March 28, 1941, near Rodmell, Sussex), British novelist and critic. Daughter of Leslie Stephen, she and her sister became the early nucleus of the Bloomsbury group. She married Leonard Woolf in 1912; in 1917 they founded the Hogarth Press. Her best novels—including Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927)—are experimental; in them she examines the human experience of time, the indefinability of character, and external circumstances as they impinge on consciousness. Orlando (1928) is a historical fantasy about a single character who experiences England from the Elizabethan era to the early 20th century, and The Waves (1931), perhaps her most radically experimental work, uses interior monologue and recurring images to trace the inner lives of six characters. Such works confirmed her place among the major figures of literary modernism. Her best critical studies are collected in The Common Reader (1925, 1932). Her long essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) addressed the status of women, and women artists in particular. Her other novels include Jacob’s Room (1922), The Years (1937), and Between the Acts (1941). She also wrote a biography of Roger Fry. Her health and mental stability were delicate throughout her life; in a recurrence of mental illness, she drowned herself. Her diaries and correspondence have been published in several editions.
Woolf not only stands out for her literary contributions, but also, with them, she promoted feminism in the middle of the 20th century, although her works were really promulgated from the 70s. Today, her publications are so important that many publishers continue to doing reissues.
Woolf’s haunting language, her prescient insights into wide-ranging historical, political, feminist, and artistic issues, and her revisionist experiments with novelistic form during a remarkably productive career altered the course of Modernist and postmodernist letters.

Biography
Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin on August 30, 1797, in London, England. She was the daughter of philosopher and political writer William Godwin and famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft — the author of The Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). Sadly for Shelley, she never really knew her mother who died shortly after her birth. Her father William Godwin was left to care for Shelley and her older half-sister Fanny Imlay. Imlay was Wollstonecraft's daughter from an affair she had with a soldier.
Shelley also found a creative outlet in writing. According to The Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft, she once explained that "As a child, I scribbled; and my favourite pastime, during the hours given me for recreation, was to 'write stories.'" She published her first poem, "Mounseer Nongtongpaw," in 1807, through her father's company.
During the summer of 1812, Shelley went to Scotland to stay with an acquaintance of her father William Baxter and his family. There she experienced a type of domestic tranquility she had never known. Shelley returned to the Baxters' home the following year.
In 1814, Mary began a relationship with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Percy Shelley was a devoted student of her father, but he soon focused his attentions on Mary. He was still married to his first wife when he and the teenaged Mary fled England together that same year. The couple was accompanied by Mary's stepsister Jane. Mary's actions alienated her from her father who did not speak to her for some time.
Made a widow at age 24, Shelley worked hard to support herself and her son.
Shelley died of brain cancer on February 1, 1851, at age 53, in London, England.
Some Important Works
Best Novels: She was an outstanding writer. Some of her best novels include Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, The Last Man, The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck.
Other Works: Besides novels, she tried her hands on other areas as well. Some of her notable works include The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Rambles in Germany and Italy, History of a Six Weeks’ Tour and Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Legacy
Mary Shelley, with her unique abilities, left profound impacts on global literature. After many years of her demise, her works still enjoy the same prestige. Her witty ideas, along with distinct literary qualities, won applause from her readers, critics, and other fellow writers. She successfully documented her ideas about knowledge, power, and alienation in her writings that even today writers try to imitate her unique style, considering her a beacon for writing prose.

Emily Jane Brontë (Thornton, July 30, 1818 - Haworth, December 19, 1848) was a British writer. Her most important work is the novel Wuthering Heights (1847), considered a classic of English literature, which was published under the male pseudonym Ellis Bell in order to overcome the difficulties that 19th-century women had in recognizing their literary work. . .1 The novel, initially considered wild and crude by critics, was recognized over time as the most genuine, deep and restrained expression of the English romantic soul and one of the most important works of the Victorian era.She was the fifth of six siblings. In 1820 the family moved to Haworth, where his father was appointed Anglican parson.

Their mother died on 22 September 1821, and in August 1824 Charlotte and Emily were sent with their older sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, to Clergy Daughters' College at Cowan Bridge, Lancashire, where they fell ill with tuberculosis. This school inspired Charlotte Brontë to describe the sinister Lowood School that appears in her novel Jane Eyre. Maria and Elizabeth returned to Haworth ill and died of tuberculosis in 1825. For this reason, and the poor conditions of the school, the family removed Charlotte and Emily from the boarding school.

During their childhood and after the death of their mother, the three Brontë sisters, and Emily, along with their brother Branwell, invented a fictional world made up of three imaginary countries —Angria, Gondal and Glass Town— and used to play at making up stories set in in it.

To amuse themselves in that isolated village, they transformed in their imaginations wooden soldiers into characters in a series of stories they wrote about the imaginary kingdom of Angria, owned by Charlotte and her brother Branwell (1817-1848), and that of Gondal, which was Emily and Anne's. About a hundred handwritten notebooks, beginning in 1829, of the Angria chronicles survive, but none of the Gondal saga, beginning in 1834, except for a few poems by Emily.
