About This Item
Harvest Books, New York, 1953, 1953. Paperback. Good. Mass market paperback, good in white pictorial wraps. 310 pp. "The subject of this brilliant novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. 'There are dozens of passages in which the secret relations of men and women, especially women, to the trifling events of life are rendered with convincing and elaborate subtlety. To have written them is to have surpassed, in this one respect, almost every contemporary novelist. '--The Saturday Review 'Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition." NY Times.
Synopsis
To the Lighthouse is a novel by Virginia Woolf. A landmark novel of high modernism, the text, centering on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920, skillfully manipulates temporality and psychological exploration. To the Lighthouse follows and extends the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, where the plot is secondary to philosophical introspection, and the prose can be winding and hard to follow.
