Their study traces the historical roots of Woolf thought social, reveal its creative concept of social content to a large extent, but to explore the essential characteristic of Woolf's literary thinking has obvious defects, mainly in the study Biography color is too strong, often confined to a single gender judgment stand, but more concentrated in their novels. This paper argues that, to expand the scope of the study, not only focus on the creation of his novel, but also a large number of essays and diaries included in the review horizon, in the basis of the full study of first-hand information from seemingly binary oppositions factors cut can reveal its meaning and the essential characteristics of literary thought.

As one of the representatives of the modernist, Woolf for the description of the inner self interest in. Individuals only in clear self-identity in order to maintain self-independence and integrity. Woolf's works, her hero, without exception, suffered a crisis of self-identity. They anxiety, loneliness, confusion, pain. In describing the self-division side at the same time, Woolf more emphasis on the integration of the self, and they go beyond the opposition, beyond ego, and integration with others, thus revealing the common human emotion. Visible, Woolf described by self both split side have self-healed. Woolf has always paid great attention to the creation of the personal presence of consciousness enlightenment, as a writer, however, how to deal with the relationship between the writer and works? Writers as independent individuals with a personal creation inevitably traces, but after writer and Do not work too personal. In this regard, Woolf take a medium and attitude. , While emphasizing that the writer's personality is their ability to think and creativity, on the other hand, advocates should writers and works and into a whole, beyond the ego, to build larger, so the reader and the book was able to create a common link.
