A pillar of Modernist literature, Virginia Woolf, through her literary experiments with language, narrative, and time, formed an important foundation for the writing that would emerge throughout the course of the 20th century. In her seminal essay "The Death of a Moth" (1942), Woolf uses her own personal experience of seeing a struggling moth as a catalyst to explore themes of life and the inevitability of death.
