Virginia Woolf was a prominent English writer and central figure of the Bloomsbury Group. She was born in London in 1882 to Leslie Stephen, a man of letters, and Julia Duckworth Stephen. Woolf had a sketchy education but was allowed access to her father's library, determining from a young age to become a writer. She suffered from mental illness throughout her life and died by suicide in 1941. Woolf wrote many novels and essays that explored modernist themes through stream-of-consciousness narrative, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of One's Own.
This is a ppt made from a student in English Literature using the text template given in class to assist in analyzing the story. This template is a good way to help students in their critical thinking skills while analyzing poetry or prose. The text template includes, but not limited to:
Author Bio: This includes any details about why the author wrote the specific poem or prose.
Title: The students are to discuss what the title means before reading the poem or text. This usually gives insight as to what the story or poem could be about. Normally, the students are not far off the mark when doing this.
They must also give insight as to what the title means after reading the poem or text to compare and see if they were thinking along the same lines.
Words/Vocabulary:
Students are to identify words they may not know, but they can also identify phrases to understand what is being stated.
Structure and Form: Literary devices
In this section the student will develop more of their analytical skills by trying to break the code when identifying literary devices. They do not only state the literary device, but they also quote the portion of the poem or story they wish to explain in their own words. It also helps them understand the rhyme scheme and language.
Finally, they may put all of the information together to form a summary about the poem or text. This enables the student to write an effective PEE structured essay for Cambridge purposes.

This lecture on ppt slides focused on analysis of the Duchess of Malfi. It has been prepared by Faisal Ahmed, Faculty Member, Department of English, World University of Bangladesh.
Dramas staged between 1660 and 1700 are called ‘Restoration Dramas’. The dramatic literature of the period was dominated by comedies called ‘Comedy of manners’. Actually ‘Restoration Comedy’ is used as a synonym for “Comedy of Manners”. The plot of the comedy, often concerned with scandal, was traditionally less important than its witty dialogues.
The comedy of manners was first developed in the new comedy of the Ancient Greek Playwright Menander. His style, elaborate plots, and stock characters were imitated by the Roman playwrights Plautus and Terence, whose comedies were widely known and copied during the Renaissance. The best-known comedies of manners, however, may well be those of the French playwright Moliere.
Oscar Wilde and William Congreve are the most celebrated authors of ‘Comedy of Manners’.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25,
1882 in London
Her father, Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), was a
man of letters who came from a family
distinguished for public service
Her mother, Julia (1846-95), from whom
Virginia inherited her looks, was the
daughter and niece of the six beautiful Pattle
sisters (Julia Margaret Cameron was the
seventh: not beautiful but the only one
remembered today)
3. Henry Thoby
Prinsep of London.
Photograph by Julia
Margaret Cameron,
1866.
"Annie, my first
success", 29 January
1864. Cameron's first
print with which she
was satisfied.
Ellen
Terry photographed in
1864 by Julia Margaret
Cameron.
4. She was also the niece of the
photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and
first cousin of the temperance leader Lady
Henry Somerset. Julia moved to England with
her mother, where she served as a model
for Pre-Raphaelite painters such as Edward
Burne-Jones.
5. Both parents had been married before: her
father to the daughter of the novelist, William
Thackeray (Harriet Marian (Minny)), by whom he
had a daughter Laura (1870-1945) who was
intellectually backward; and her mother to a
barrister, Herbert Duckworth (1833-70), by whom
she had three children, George (1868-1934),
Stella (1869-97), and Gerald (1870-1937). Julia
and Leslie Stephen had four children: Vanessa
(1879-1961), Thoby (1880-1906), Virginia (1882-
1941), and Adrian (1883-1948). All eight children
lived with the parents and a number of servants
at 22 Hyde Park Gate, Kensington.
6. Sir Leslie Stephen's eminence as an editor,
critic, and biographer, and his connection
to William Thackeray, meant that his children
were raised in an environment filled with the
influences of Victorian literary society
7. Long summer holidays were spent at Talland
House in St Ives, Cornwall, and St Ives played
a large part in Virginia’s imagination. It was
the setting for her novel To the Lighthouse,
despite its ostensibly being placed on the Isle
of Skye. London and/or St Ives provided the
principal settings of most of her novels.
8. Virginia was allowed uncensored access to
her father’s extensive library, and from an
early age determined to be a writer
Her education was sketchy and she never
went to school.
Vanessa trained to become a painter.
Their two brothers were sent to preparatory
and public schools, and then to Cambridge.
There, Thoby made friends with Leonard
Woolf, Clive Bell, Saxon Sydney-Turner,
Lytton Strachey and Maynard Keynes.
9. In 1895 her mother died unexpectedly, and
Virginia suffered her first mental breakdown.
Her half-sister Stella took over the running of
the household as well as coping with Leslie’s
demands for sympathy and emotional
support. Stella married Jack Hills in 1897,
but she too died suddenly on her return from
her honeymoon. The household burden then
fell upon Vanessa.
10. Leslie Stephen died in 1904, and Virginia had
a second breakdown.
It provoked her most alarming collapse and
she was briefly institutionalized
Modern scholars have suggested her
breakdowns and subsequent
recurring depressive periods were also
influenced by the sexual abuse to which she
and her sister Vanessa were subjected by
their half-brothers George and Gerald
Duckworth (which Woolf recalls in her
autobiographical essays A Sketch of the
Past and 22 Hyde Park Gate).
11. Following a trip to Greece in 1906, Thoby
died of typhoid and in 1907 Vanessa married
Clive Bell. Thoby had started ‘Thursday
evenings' for his friends to visit, and this kind
of arrangement was continued after his
death by Vanessa and then by Virginia and
Adrian when they moved to 29 Fitzroy Square
12. Leonard Woolf had joined the Ceylon Civil
Service in 1904 and returned in 1911 on
leave. He soon decided that he wanted to
marry Virginia, and she eventually agreed.
They were married in St Pancras Registry
Office on 10 August 1912. They decided to
earn money by writing and journalism.
13. Virginia Woolf died on March 28, 1941 near
Rodmell, Sussex, England. She left a note for
her husband, Leonard, and for her sister,
Vanessa. Then, Virginia walked to the River
Ouse, put a large stone in her pocket, and
drowned herself. Children found her body 18
days later.

Editor's Notes
Her father, Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), was a man of letters (and first editor of the Dictionary of National Biography) who came from a family distinguished for public service (part of the ‘intellectual aristocracy' of Victorian England)Leslie Stephen was a notable historian, author, critic and mountaineerPicture of mother was taken by juliamargaretcameron who was known for her portraits of celebrities of the time, and for photographs with Arthurian and other legendary themes
Lady henrysomerset – temperance movement is a social movement urging reduced or prohibited use of alcoholic beverages after having a close friend committed suicide while intoxicated
Victorian - Culturally there was a transition away from the rationalism of the Georgian period and toward romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social values, and the arts
(including her nephew and biographer, Quentin Bell)
Trivia: The ethos of the Bloomsbury group encouraged a liberal approach to sexuality, and in 1922 she met the writer and gardener Vita Sackville-West, wife of Harold Nicolson. After a tentative start, they began a sexual relationship, which, according to Sackville- West, was only twice consummatedIn 1928, Woolf presented Sackville-West with Orlando, a fantastical biography in which the eponymous hero's life spans three centuries and both sexes. Nigel Nicolson, Vita Sackville-West's son, wrote "The effect of Vita on Virginia is all contained in Orlando, the longest and most charming love letter in literature, in which she explores Vita, weaves her in and out of the centuries, tosses her from one sex to the other, plays with her, dresses her in furs, lace and emeralds, teases her, flirts with her, drops a veil of mist around her".[16] After their affair ended, the two women remained friends until Woolf's death in 1941. Virginia Woolf also remained close to her surviving siblings, Adrian and Vanessa; Thoby had died of an illness at the age of 26.
