An introduction by Eudora Welty. The subject of this brilliant novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. The setting of this book is generally supposed to be much like the place at St. Ives in Cornwall where the Stephen family spent the summers during Virginia Woolf's childhood; and the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay are said to derive from Leslie and Julia Stephen the author's parents. The physical surround, so continuously before us in its changes, its weathers, its procession of day and night, so seducing in its beauty, is not here as itself. What Virginia Woolf has us see is the world as apparent to them-to Mrs. Ramsay, to Lily Briscoe, to James, Andrew, and the rest of the characters. There are two corner folds on page 173 and 174. There is a label on the back cover. The pages are clean and free of markings and highlighting.

About this title

Synopsis

An English family's complex lives are followed and picked up again after a 10 year hiatus in order to explore the effects of time

From the Inside Flap

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.
