Hija del conocido hombre de letras Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia Woolf nace en Londres el 25 de enero de 1882, y vive, desde su infancia, en un ambiente densamente literario. Al morir su padre, Virginia y su hermana Vanesa dejan el elegante barrio de Kensington y se trasladan al de Bloomsbury, más modesto y algo bohemio, que ha dado nombre al brillante grupo formado alrededor de las hermanas Stephen. En 1912 se casa con Leonard Woolf y juntos dirigen la Hogarth Press. El 28 de marzo de 1941, la genial novelista sucumbe a la grave dolencia mental que la aqueja desde muchos años atrás y se suicida ahogándose en el río Ouse. Además de Las olas (1931), Virginia Woolf fue autora de novelas tan importantes como El cuarto de Jacob (1922), La señora Dalloway (1925), Al faro (1927), Orlando (1928), Los años (1937) y Entre actos (1941).
