Description

Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf's third novel, marks her first foray into Modernist experimentation. The narrative explores Jacob's life through alternating perspectives that combine letters, fragments of dialogue and the ephemeral impressions of those nearest to him.

The story is a poignant portrayal of romance and its disruption by the cataclysmic events of the First World War. Through Jacob's voice, Woolf poignantly depicts his adult life in London and abroad, torn between three women: Florinda, Clara Durrant, and Sandra Wentworth Williams.

This innovative novel combines fragments of human experience to create a unique narrative voice, one that has become the absent centre of Modernism's first great novels.
