Les influences philosophiques qui marquèrent Virginia Woolf et son oeuvre sont liées en grande partie aux philosophes qu'elle étudia et rencontra. Bien que le plus proche fut son père, Leslie Stephen, d'autres ont joué un rôle majeur, au travers de l'informelle communauté d'artistes et d'intellectuels du Bloomsbury Club, puis, dès 1920, du Memoir Club, où les rencontres se concentraient autour du même thème : la mémoire…
