The Stephen family moved to Bloomsbury group in 1904. This are in central London was then considered as a place where it was not a good for living.
Their house soon became a meeting point for artists, writers, intellectuals who were all Toby's friends from Cambridge university. Their main objective was to discuss the nature of good and in the process they had to do without the conventions of the times. Virginia Woolf herself wrote that everything was new,everything was on trial, they only wanted to different artistic activities. This enterprise was judged as very bold.

Correct the Mistakes.
Virginia Stephens got married to Leonard Woolf in 1912. This event triggered off even more mental breakdowns on Virginia’s part. When she was institutionalised,she started writing because she was provided with pen and paper
She underwent a total transformation at these moments,becoming cruel to the people she loved most.
Virginia published her first novel in 1915, when she was 33. It is entitled The Voyage out. Mind and deals with her childhood and the loss of her mother.
Fill in the Gaps.
In her novels, she rarely attempted to describe people’s relationships, but rather what they did not say to each other,what was in their minds.
This has come to be known as the stream of consciousness, which is described in the documentary at “the body language without the body”.
