Virginia Woolf wrote Jacob’s Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To The Lighthouse and other novels at Monk’s House in East Sussex, England. She lived there with her husband Leonard Woolf from 1919 until she took her own life in 1941. It was also a gathering spot for the Bloomsbury Group, a club of English writers, intellectuals, and artists such as as T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and Lytton Strachey.
The National Trust turned the home into a writer’s house museum. It is open to the public and features Virginia’s writing lodge located near the garden with views overlooking Mount Caburn.
