Monk's house in Rodmell was were Virginia Woolf spent countless hours writing tucked away in the Sussex countryside. The photo above is of Virginia Woolf sitting in her armchair at Monk's house. The outside of the house was beautiful brick with a large garden, nothing fancy or dramatic yet Woolf returned to this place again and again when the rest of the world felt too loud. I included this location because Woolf's writing style specifically is built on noticing the tinest details that other people would overlook and this house seems like the place where she could slow down and see how much the details do matter. I think that while in Monk's house, Woolf allowed herself to break out of the expectations that were placed on her and instead write in a way that felt honest to her.
