Paperback, 268 pages Published 1927 Penguin Classics (2000) Modern Library 100 Best Novels (1900-1998) Introduction by: Hermione Lee Notes by: Stella McNichol To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on a marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. Its use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives, give the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf saw the novel as an elegy to her own parents, and in her diary she wrote: ’I used to think of him [father] and mother daily; but writing The Lighthouse laid them in my mind.’ This novel is an extraordinarily poignant evocation of a lost happiness that lives on in the memory. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever. In this, her most autobiographical novel, Virginia Woolf captures the intensity of childhood longing and delight, and the shifting complexity of adult relationships. From an acute awareness of transcience, she creates an enduring work of art. This Novel Is An Extraordinarily Poignant Evocation Of A Lost Happiness That Lives On In The Memory.
