About Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a seminal English writer and a key figure in the modernist movement, fundamentally reshaping the novel's form. Her contributions include pioneering stream-of-consciousness narration in works like *Mrs. Dalloway* and *To the Lighthouse*, establishing her as a critical voice in 20th-century literature and securing her #929 ranking in historical importance by the Pantheon project.
Despite this established historical significance, her modern internet attention is disproportionately high, showing an "overattention" gap of +5x relative to her HPI rank. Woolf garnered approximately 1.5 million annualized Wikipedia pageviews in 2025. This level of attention is significantly greater than comparably important figures like Giacomo Puccini (#358 importance, only 339K views) or Pope Julius II (#470 importance, 316K views), indicating a strong, specific contemporary digital interest in her literary legacy.
However, this interest appears to be waning, as the annualized view count reflects a substantial -19.7% year-over-year drop, compounded by a -20% drop in momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, suggesting her high digital profile may be undergoing a notable, recent decline.
