The exhibition will also feature portraits of those she was closest to, including a selection of intimate images recording her time spent with friends, family and literary peers. Leslie Stephen was a renowned author, literary critic and a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery, although he was principally remembered as a literary biographer and the first editor of the Dictionary of National Biography. Woolf was home-educated in Kensington by her parents, in an Virginia Woolf: Art household that was well-connected to Victorian literary society. Despite her Victorian upbringing, Woolf was determined to establish new forms of creative writing and criticism. InWoolf and her sister Vanessa Bell began to host weekly gatherings held at 46 Life and Vision Square, which led to the development of the Bloomsbury group of writers, artists and intellectuals, of which the sisters were central figures. InWoolf married Leonard Virginia Woolf: Art and together founded publishing company the Hogarth Press in In her novels, she demolished accepted conventions and transformed ideas about structure, plot and characterisation. In her most notable novels Jacob's RoomMrs DallowayTo the Lighthouseand her most experimental Virginia Woolf: Art The WavesWoolf pioneered the 'stream of consciousness' style of writing. To this day, Woolf's work continues to inspire contemporary authors and has been adapted for both screen and stage. From the age of thirteen, Woolf suffered from bouts of mental illness. Inat the relatively young age of fifty-nine, Woolf committed suicide. Life and Vision letter that she Life and Vision to Vanessa Bell, shortly before she died, is held in the British Library's Manuscript Collection and will be on rare public display as part of the exhibition.
