Conflicts
• Virginia Woolf,the woman is rapt in writing and has much gift and devotion about it.Under this condition ,she begin to write her last novel Mrs. Dalloway, at the same time she is wandering on the edge of crazy.
• The Modernism emphasis on a radical individualism which can be seen in the many literary manifestos , such as Richard Hollenbeck's “First German Dada Manifesto” of 1918 . • Modern literature attempted to move from the bonds of Realist literature and introduce concepts such as disjointed timelines. Modernist literature developed a style that can be characterized by a preoccupation with stylistic novelty, formal fragmentation, multiple perspectives, and alternatives to traditional narrative forms.

Modern literature often moves beyond the limitations of the Realist novel with a concern for larger factors such as social or historical change , this is prominent in "stream of consciousness" writing.
Modern scholarship
• Recently, studies of Virginia Woolf have focused on feminist and lesbian themes in her work • Woolf's fiction is also studied for its insight into shell shock, war, class, and modern British society
