        <description><![CDATA[The novel 'To The Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf is considered a classic because not only was it ground-breaking and arresting when it was published, it has also stood the test of time and remains a beacon of it's kind- one that illuminates literature,and feminist literature,today.
It is quite something for any novelist,such as James Joyce, to throw deeply-held traditions and rules of writing out of the window, but he was a man. He pulled it...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Virginia Woolf's novel To The Lighthouse was published in the year 1927-- 5 years after the seminal 1922 which saw the publication of James Joyce's novel Ulysses and T.S.Eliot's poem Waste Land. This was the high tide of European Modernism and Woolf's text is supposed to complete the contours of this newly emerging Modernist art and literature. It is a Modernist classic, a masterpiece.
Apart from bringing in the missing feminine angle in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Each of the three main characters has a different approach to establishing the worth of his or her life.
Mr. -Ramsay represents an intellectual approach; as a metaphysical phil-osopher, he relies on his work to secure his reputation.
Mrs. -Ramsay, devoted to family, friends, and the sanctity of social order, relies on her emotions rather than her mind to lend lasting meaning to her experiences.
Lily, hoping to capture and preserve the truth of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Woolf was trying to do in many ways what she presents Lily Briscoe as trying to do with her picture. Woolf had expressed in her essay on the "common reader" the difficulties that the author faces in trying to choose appropriate language to describe the feelings or experiences that they are tring to describe. She (Woolf) did write something about how when you try to pin down what it is you are going to write, and desribe an event, then the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a very broad question, so I will do my best to point you in the right direction. At the time she was writing this novel, Woolf was reading a great deal of Freud, so the relationship among James and his mother and father is one that represents the Oedipal complex -- James adores his mother but hates his father for taking away her attention, so much so that he wishes he could kill his father. Only when James is older and his mother is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In terms of style, it seems as though Woolf was attempting to capture the fleeting, elusive nature of reality through the use of multiple perspectives.  It would be difficult to describe any one of the characters in a few words because there is a wealth of information concerning each, from their own thoughts to the thoughts and feelings of others.  It is necessary for the narrative to be fragmented because that is how real life is. The key...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[To the Lighthouse is a poetic prose based on memories that change characters' present experience. A different treatment in point of view, time and space makes this novel totally subjective; observation and care with narrative details can reveal something new everytime we read it. Virginia told critics that To the Lighthouse was written to relieve her own soul to miss her mother, and to celebrate the role that parentshood had in her life. It...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the most important things to remember while reading To the Lighthouse is that this is a Modernist novel.  Yes, stream-of-consciousness is very important to the structure of the novel because it puts the reader in the minds of the various characters and very much in the moment of the novel.  But the style of the novel is important well beyond stream-of-consciousness.

For instance time and plot are skewed in the novel.  The reader gets a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["To the Light House" is a wonderful novel. Stylistically, the thing that is most unique about it, I suppose, is her choice to do stream of Conscious narrative.  Woolf, and of course, James Joyce, are most known for this narrative.  Stream of consciousness follows the voice in someone's head as they are thinking it.  In this novel, Woolf does this with a myriad of characters.  Making it, if you're not careful, a little difficult to follow.]]></description>
