Mrs. Dalloway

14 October 1922--Mrs. Dalloway has branched into a book; and I adumbrate

here a study of insanity and suicide; the world seen by the sane and the

insane side by side--something like that. Septimus Smith? is that a good

30 August 1923--I have no time to describe my plans. I should say a good

deal about The Hours [which became Mrs. Dalloway], and my discovery: how

I dig out beautiful caves behind my characters: I think that gives

exactly what I want; humanity, humor, depth. The idea is that the caves

shall connect and each come to daylight at the present moment.

15 October 1923-I am stuffed with ideas for it. I feel I can use up

everything I've ever thought. Certainly, I'm less coerced than I've yet

It has also been shown that creativity, not necessarily literary, is common in the relatives of writers. Like the writers in these studies, Virginia Woolf created little or nothing while unwell, and was productive between attacks. Her detailed analysis of her own creativity over the years shows that her illnesses - the manic periods or their immediate hypomanic aftermath - were the source of material for her novels for many years to come. Measuring the variations in her literary output shows the effects of health and ill-health.

Her personality was a mixture of shyness and ebullience. She was remembered by friends not as a gloomy depressed person but as a brilliant conversationalist, laughing, joking, gossiping, and often indulging in malicious flights of fantasy at the expense of her friends. She was loved by children, given to interrogating others in her search for material, and often rude and snobbish. She was awkward out of her social class, and had an odd eccentric appearance which made people stare at her in the street.

A successful suicide cannot be gainsaid, but does not of itself furnish proof of mental illness. In the case of Virginia Woolf, the accounts available of her last months, together with her suicide notes, would convince most psychiatrists, coroners, and their juries that she was suffering from a severe depressive illness.
