The Influence of Place and Ideas on the Creativity of the English Writer Virginia Woolf

Abstract

         This study focuses on the importance of the role of the place or the geographical environment in shaping the personality of the writer, in addition to the nature of the ideas and concepts that prevailed in the time period in which the writer lived, and how they could be the aid or the source, which the writer cannot neglect . Our example in this study  was the English writer Virginia Woolf, who is the ideal model for the writer who simulates his/her geographical surroundings and is proud of it, but rather prefers it over other places, and this is one of Woolf's symbols of belonging . In addition to addressing the writer's style, which revealed to us the extent to which ideas and the general culture of society influenced her works.          Perhaps the importance of the writer's output depends on the amount of real pictures the writer presents that show accurate details of the nature of his/her environment or his/her city, as they make the reader harmonize with a real lived reality, and feel through her what the writer recounts in his works .
