A great documentary, well-enunciated, and supported by an interesting selection of photos and film footage. Well done!

This is an amazingly detailed and, sometimes, painfully intimate portrait of Virginia Woolf.

That’s part of her beauty, the intimate pains that she shared in her writings.

What a gem! It's so difficult to find quality programmes such as this on today's TV channels. I never knew the history of Virginia Woolf's life. Thanks for posting.

Excellent documentary! Thank you.

Leonard is an unsung hero.

Your research is fantastic ! Great job !

Fascinating evocation of the time and of the 'Bloomsberries'. Two requests: Ronald Firbank and William Gerhardie...

thank you for this but next s. t. coleridge documentary please please 🙏

Thank you it was a wonderful review of her life

A great documentary, much thanks ❤️

We're so fortunate to have access to meds, therapy and people to reach out to, internet wise. Back in those days, how very lonely and how difficult it was.. To think that she had to deal with this mental illness.

thanks for this. this vid was quite insightful

Brilliant video. Thank you. I've visited Rodmell and Charlston.

I enjoyed this emensly Thankyou.

This documentary is too short and ends, alas, abruptly. It doesn't pay enough attention to her novels. But it's very well written, and the narrator is among the best I've ever heard. I've listened to it thrice the past few days while out walking in some grim winter weather, and next, I will watch it. 😊 Leonard deserves respect and appreciation for caring for her so well. Thanks again, Paul.

I never knew VW This is indeed an excellent documentary.

Beautifully put together. An infelicity though at 25.40: Vanessa was married to Clive Bell - Quentin was one of Vanessa’s three children: the others being Angelica Garnett and Julian.

Excellent documenntary! Virginia was a brilliant woman!

An elegant, informative portrait of this eminent artist, though I think the program would have been enriched by more attention given to the literature itself, its language and themes. I was also puzzled by the omission of 'Mrs Dalloway' in the citation of works, this having been published before 'To the Lighthouse', and not infrequently cited as readers' favorite novel by Woolf. Lastly, a few minor inconsistencies were noted, one being that Mary Anne Evans Cross (whose professional alias was George Eliot), mentioned at 3:56, had died in 1880, two years before Virginia's birth, hence could never have personally known her. Also, the surname for Toby Stephen is incorrectly given as "Stephens" at 13:04, and Little Talland is misspelled as "Tallend" at 21:22. Still, overall quite a helpful and engaging introduction to this vital twentieth-century writer. Edited to observe that the Wikipedia entry for Virginia Woolf has the spelling for her brother's name to be Thoby (full name Julian Thoby Stephen).

Such a beautiful male voice and narration! I wish that I could hear such a voice every day!

Excellent thanks.

If I were forced to pick a single narrator, it would be this one.

Very interesting documentary.

What an entertaining bio.well spoken with good pics.thanks

I love the dry dullness of his voice. The undertone of bland British sarcasm is brilliant as well. ❤

Very similar to an earlier video of Virginia Woolf

It is a really informative documentary about Virginia Woolf.

The overbearing music interfered with this otherwise interesting piece.

Hmmm. It just occured to me that my husband’s grandmother was a Woolf (spelled that way).

She left a suicide note. I read it years ago in college. She could stand the madness. So sad.

Virginia Woolf is my all-time crush. The way she wrote makes me yearn to be her. . .or just a part of her.

There's an inaccuracy just over 2 minutes into this biography. Showing a photograph of Virginia's mother, Julia Jackson Duckworth Stephen, the narrator informs us that she was the sister of Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian photographer. who took the picture. But that's not the case. Julia Stephen was Julia Cameron's niece, the daughter of Julia Cameron's sister Maria Pattle , who married John Jackson. This is not an auspicious way to begin.

Very interesting she had a sad life in a lot of ways

I am Autistic. I wondered, after listening to this particular story, if perhaps she was also on the spectrum. It's just a thought and I pray no one takes offense to the speculation...

I understand what you went through Virginia and being sensitive and depressed life long is unbearable. But you made use of your gift in spite of it.

i read leonard woolfs novel about a village in ceylon . I believe it is considered a classic in ceylon . It was quite good actually . It is so sad that pearl buck won the nobel prize in literature instead of Virginia Woolf. I would call it an outrage to be frank ! And a travesty .

Adorable Virginia ❤

I did not know she tried suicide so often. The inside life!

"What could be more serious than the love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive, bearing in its bosom the seeds of death; at the same time these lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be danced round with mockery, decorated with garlands" --Virigina Woolf "Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person" --Ayn Rand
