Diary Of Virginia Woolf Volume 5

Diary Of Virginia Woolf Volume 5: Vol. 5 (1936-1941) | Virginia Woolf

“Shall I ever write again one of those sentences that gives me intense pleasure?” (Among her next to last entries before her suicide)

So sad how she considered herself to be a poor writer. She considered writing to be her therapy. She felt she had to do it in order to live. This is a theme in her books especially “To the Lighthouse” which was autobiographical.

So ends my reading of Virginia‘s diaries. It seemed that all throughout this personal account of her last four years, she hinted at plans of eventually ending her own life. She shared more about her feelings than in her previous couple of volumes but much about her has surely been left out. She has intrigued me to learn more so next will be her letters. She was an amazingly complicated woman who captured my heart.

BarbaraBB Wonderful review of a special woman and a sad ending. 4y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @BarbaraBB Thanks 4y

SamAnne I‘m a huge Woolf Fan and am thinking of doing a reread of her classics I‘ve read and her others. I‘ve only read the first volume 4y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @SamAnne You will love the diaries because she shares her thinking regarding her novels. One of the saddest things is her view of herself as a poor writer. Writing to her was mainly a coping skill. She felt she had to write and read to live. 4y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads For example @SamAnne “To the Lighthouse” was much about her actual family. 4y
