Roger Fry - A Biography by Virginia Woolf offers an intimate and insightful portrait of one of the most influential figures in the British art world, Roger Eliot Fry (1866-1934).

As a pioneering painter, critic, and a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, Fry was instrumental in introducing modern art to Britain, coining the term 'Post-Impressionism' and championing the works of artists like Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. In this biography, Woolf captures the essence of Fry's life and contributions, blending her deep understanding of art with her renowned literary style. Through Woolf's narrative, readers gain a deeper appreciation of Fry's impact on the art world, as well as his complex personality and relationships within the Bloomsbury Group.

Published by Read & Co. Great Essays, this classic biography is now republished with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist, essayist, and critic who became one of the central figures of literary modernism. A founding member of the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf helped shape early twentieth-century intellectual and artistic culture through both her fiction and her essays.Her major novels-including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves-are known for their experimental narrative techniques, particularly the use of stream of consciousness and shifting interior perspectives. Woolf sought to capture the fluid movement of thought and memory, redefining the structure and possibilities of the novel.In works such as A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas, she also addressed the social and economic barriers facing women writers, becoming an enduring influence on feminist literary criticism. Woolf's stylistic innovation and psychological insight secure her place among the most important writers of the twentieth century.
