Virginia Woolf’s literary influences stemmed from her rich cultural and intellectual environment. Being part of the Bloomsbury Group, she interacted with writers, artists, and thinkers who shaped her views on modernism and feminism. Her reading of works by influential authors such as James Joyce and Marcel Proust shaped her narrative style and explorations of stream of consciousness technique. Moreover, Woolf's personal experiences, including her struggles with mental health, profoundly influenced her writings, reflecting complex themes of identity, gender, and societal expectations in her seminal works like “Mrs. Dalloway” and “To the Lighthouse.”
