Inhaltsangabe

This study of eight of Virginia Woolf's novels derives from a sense of her "rhythm of broken sequence": her characters who are open to interruption are also open to the "aesthetic of disjunction situated at the heart of human interplay", while those not so open succumb to "self-supporting insularity". Tying in biography with analysis, The author discusses the novels: "The Voyage Out"; "Night and Day"; "Jacob's Room"; "Mrs. Dalloway"; "To the Lighthouse"; "The Waves"; "The Years"; and "Between the Acts". The work acts as a contribution to the understanding of Woolf's relationship with reality.

Críticas

'This important pioneering study of eight of Woolf's novel derives from a sense of her 'rhythm of broken sequence': her characters who are open to interruption are also open to the 'aesthetic of disjunction situated at the heart of human interplay', while those not so open succumb to 'self-supporting insularity'. Sensitively tying in biography with analysis, Ruotolo sheds considerable light on the novels (The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, The Waves, The Years, and Between the Acts) ... Ruotolo reads Woolf closely, carefully, and astutely, and his analysis necessarily affects all subsequent work on Woolf; he writes clearly and persuasively, and he offers substantial support for his conclusions from Woolf's diaries and letters.' P. Schlueter, Choice
