Virginia Woolf: The Novels (Analysing Texts)

At the beginning of this century, Virginia Woolf reacted against literary tradition, sought a new definition of fiction, applied her modern, post-freudian outlook and radically feminist ideas to the problem of writing novels and, in so doing, re-defined our concept of this literary form. The results can be seen in Mrs Dalloway, To The Lighthouse and The Waves, three novels of a flowing, impressionistic texture that are, at the same time, highly structured. Through detailed analysis of selected extracts from the novels, the reader is taught to explore the delicate and yet rich writing Woolf achieved and to inquire into the significance of her ironies and symbolic structures. This guide does not sidestep the complexity of her works, but challenges the reader to confront, examine and enjoy it.

Opening chapters in this book on the narrative frame, characters, imagery and symbols, structure and themes use practical analysis to build and refine our insight into "Wuthering Heights". It goes on to give information about Emily Bronte's life and works, a discussion of this novel's place in the development of fiction, and a comparison of three important critical views.
