Abstract
The subject under consideration is the prominence of history of literature in the work of English modernists. The author analyses Virginia Woolf’s (1882–1941) approach to history, and her view on history as a subject of representation in her novel-cum-biography “Orlando” (1928). In conclusion, Woolf’s literary project is appreciated against the background of some historical concepts of the second half of the twentieth century.
