This research investigates the essays of the British writer Virginia Woolf and their repercussions on the Brazilian literary-critical panorama. This study was delimited by the selection of six texts by Brazilian critics that were influential in the dissemination of Virginia Woolf, with special attention to A room of one’s own (1929), the most well-known Woolfian essay in our country and in the world. Woolf’s essays develop and reveal a feminine tradition in writing. Feminist literary criticism has sought to examine these old texts within the literary canon through new lenses. Virginia Woolf’s essayistic work subverted this criticism in Brazil, as her essays are read to examine new texts through their own lenses. The execution of this study on Woolf’s essays in our country involved a meticulous and systematic bibliographical research and the elaboration of proposals regarding their repercussions. Using a hypothetical-deductive approach to analyze the selected texts, we employ a descriptive and comparative method of more recent texts that discuss Virginia Woolf's essays and analyze their impact on selected Brazilian literary criticism.
