Summary:

Drawing on some of the main critical debates and on Woolf's non-fictional writings, this guide untangles some of the difficulties that can prove a barrier to understanding Woolf's writing. These include aspects of the process of writing (such as narrative technique, formal innovation and characterization), as well as the thematic concerns so central to Woolf's work and to the cultural context in which it emerged, including representations of gender, sexuality, class and race.
