This book, written by one of the leaders in the field of the
neurosciences, will give an explanation of the symptoms and eventual
untimely suicide of one of literatures greatest authors; Virginia Woolf.
The sources used are letters and statements from Woolf herself, the
literature she wrote and comments, letters and any other documentation
that referred to her mental state and her medical status. The author
will use current insight into depression, the mental consequences of
child abuse and drug interactions/effects to illustrate this case study.
The book should appeal to researchers in the neurosciences, psychology
and psychiatry as well as to a broader audience, mainly individuals who
are interested in the (external and internal) forces that drove Woolf to
write her material.
