Woolfs vorletzter Roman, mit dem sie große Erfolge feierte: Dieser drei Generationen umspannende Familienroman, der sich von 1880 bis in die 1930er Jahre erstreckt, erzählt das Leben der Londoner Offiziersfamilie Pargiter. Hierbei geht es um die Schicksale der Großeltern, Eltern und Kinder, die über die Jahre begleitet werden. Die auf den ersten Blick für Woolf ungewöhnlich konventionelle Erzählweise wird durch wiederkehrende, das Gestern und das Heute verbindende Augenblicke aufgebrochen.-

Woolf originally began work on «The Voyage Out» in 1910 and had finished an early draft by 1912. Yet the novel had a long and difficult gestation and was not published until 1915. It was written during a period in which Woolf was especially psychologically vulnerable. She suffered from periods of depression and at one point attempted suicide. The resultant work contained the seeds of all that would blossom in her later work: the innovative narrative style, the focus on feminine consciousness,...

A landmark novel of high modernism, the text, which centres on the Ramsays and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920, skillfully manipulates temporal and psychological elements. 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. The novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is...

The essay seeks to establish illness as a serious subject of literature along the lines of love, jealousy and battle. Woolf writes, «Considering how common illness is, how tremendous the spiritual change that it brings, how astonishing, when the lights of health go down, the undiscovered countries that are then disclosed, what wastes and deserts of the soul a slight attack of influenza brings to light…it becomes strange indeed that illness has not taken its place with love, battle, and jealousy...

Rachel encounters an eclectic array of passengers on the boat and through them Woolf satirizes Edwardian life. This physical passage also becomes a journey of self-discovery for Rachel. She takes both a literal and mythical...
