Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to show how a poem discovered as having been written indeed by Virginia Woolf on a poetry site on the Internet leads its author to find a research paper reaching as far back as 1983 and which has not been known to Romanian culture or, at least, not popularized. In this way, we can draw attention to the fact that Woolf also wrote poems, which have been the starting point of her renowned poetic prose. There are many challenges we can go through while researching about Woolf’s work, compared to the mainstream view that literature textbooks, together with schools and universities curricula present it. An analysis of this poem in relation to Woolf’s work is presented, according to a knowledgeable reader’s perspective, following reader-response theory.
