- Summary:
- "This Norton Critical Edition presents Virginia Woolf's acclaimed part-autobiographical novel To the Lighthouse. The text of Woolf's 1927 U.S. edition (fully annotated with explanatory footnotes) consists of three parts that chronicle the seemingly ordinary lives of the Ramsay family, as they host various acquaintances, most notably, an ambitious but struggling painter named Lily Briscoe, at the family's summer residence. The novel takes place over the course of many years-in the time leading up to, during, and after World War I-but is primarily concerned with the artist's world and the ontology of reality. Scholars have flocked to Woolf's To the Lighthouse because of its multifaceted and multigenre qualities, which allow the text to be analyzed within historical, gendered, political, biographical, and other contexts. The "Contexts" section introduces readers to primary background sources for these debates and includes some of Woolf's own essays, autobiographical writings, and literary influences. The "Criticism" section features contemporary reviews of the novel as well as modern research. A chronology and selected bibliography conclude this Norton Critical Edition"-- Provided by publisher.
