This article examines Virginia Woolf's individual creative method, focusing on her stories from the period analyzed. It identifies features such as an appeal to the inner world, subjectivization of creativity, ethical relativism, disappearance of social issues, imperfect personalities, open endings, cultural elitization, and fragmentation. The study analyzes the stream of consciousness as a creative method, distinguishing it from inner monologue. It traces the birth and development of stream of consciousness in English-language modernist literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The article presents features of this technique, including lack of clear sequence, spontaneity, combination of conscious and unconscious, heightened emotionality, focus on spiritual life, and deep psychology, and considers types of verbal penetration into the inner world.
