Binding: Intact. No stickers or labels visible. A work of literary criticism, The Interrupted Moment presents a penetrating and original view of Virginia Woolf's novels, arguing that the ruptures and discontinuities within her fiction are not flaws but the very source of her narrative power. Lucio P. Ruotolo chronicles how Woolf's characters experience sudden, unguarded instants that shatter the ordinary flow of consciousness, revealing deeper truths about identity, time, and human connection. With scholarly authority and genuine sensitivity to language, Ruotolo illustrates how these interrupted moments function as the structural and philosophical heart of works such as Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves. The result is an indispensable and illuminating study for anyone seeking to understand the full depth and complexity of one of modernism's most celebrated voices.
