To the Lighthouse

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex interrelationships among characters, this novel delves into themes of perception and emotional depth. Unlike Mrs. Dalloway, which features a more straightforward narrative, it employs a synthetic method of characterization, creating characters like Mrs. Ramsay and Clarissa without autobiographical ties. The narrative culminates in the powerful interlude "Time Passes," showcasing Woolf's artistic ambition. While some may see it as less impactful than her earlier work, its grand aims and emotional richness mark it as a significant literary achievement.
