The main objective of this work is to develop an articulation between the psychoanalysis theory and the life and work of the British author Virginia Woolf. In a more detailed manner, it proposes a reading on the concept of love through autobiographical and ficcional works of the author. Based on the proposal that literature has something to teach to psychoanalysis, this work highlights the relation between love, as put by Woolf, and the clinical category of melancholy, as proposed by Freud and Lacan. Starting from the Woolfian writings, we analyse how love reveals itself in her works, how her writing on love changes throughout her novels and what is her inaugural writing mark on love. Therefore, six of the author’s novels are analysed: The Voyage Out (1915), Jacob’s Room (1919), Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), The Waves (1931) and Between the Acts (1941). The work is guided by the melancholy theme, in order to understand how the Woolfian writing contributes to advances in psychoanalytic theory.
