Virginia Woolf's most popular novel, first published in 1927, is one of the most widely studied modernist texts. In this new edition, Sandra Kemp provides a fresh reading of the work, an introduction to Woolf and a survey of the novel's critical reception. Significant textual variants are included, along with notes and bibliography, making this an ideal edition for students of literary modernism and women's writing.

From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Virginia Woolf constructs a remarkable and moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life, and the conflict between male and female principles, in what is probably her most popular novel.
Though its fame as an icon of twentieth-century literature rests primarily on the brilliance of its narrative technique and the impressionistic beauty of its prose, 'To The Lighthouse' is above all the story of a quest, and as such it possesses a brave and magical universality.
