Question

Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London in 1882, Virginia Woolf was the daughter of editor and scholar Sir Leslie Stephen. At that time, universities excluded women; Woolf was educated at home. She married journalist Leonard Woolf in 1912. Together they helped form the influential literary circle, the Bloomsbury group. They also began their own small printing company, the Hogarth Press. Woolf was an important member of the literary movement known as modernism. She published several influential books, short stories, and essays. She is perhaps best known for a literary technique called stream of consciousness. With this technique, the thoughts and feelings of her characters take primacy over behavior or events. Woolf's works express the fluid passage of time, heightening the importance of each individual fleeting moment. Woolf's works penetrate the surface of reality to reveal the psychological aspects of her characters' lives.

Writers often use description to create a mood or establish a theme. What theme does Woolf establish in the opening paragraph?

The peaceful aspects of nature form a stark contrast to the frenzied busyness of modern reality.

The unique but temporary beauty of individual moments affects people's perceptions.

Gardens are important places for people to gather.
