"The two typescript versions of Freshwater, Virginia Woolf's only play, were discovered shortly after the death of her husband Leonard, in 1969. Both texts are published here for the first time. Freshwater is a hilarious farce based on Virginia's grewat-aunt Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian photographer. It takes place on the Isle of Wight, where Mrs. Cameron and her husband established an artists' colony in the 1870's." "Adeline Virginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer who is considered one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century, and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her best-known works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925) , To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928) , and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) , with its dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
