Woolf s third novel, following The Voyage Out (1915) and Night and Day (1919), "Jacob s Room" was her first fully modernist work, presenting the fragmented impressions of Jacob Flanders's life in a structure that breaks decisively from Edwardian realism. The novel marked a turning point in Woolf's career, laying the groundwork for her later masterpieces such as "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse." One of the central figures of English literary modernism, Woolf was a founding member of the Bloomsbury Group and a pioneer of stream-of-consciousness narration.
