Description

Published in 1927, To the Lighthouse is a pioneering work of modernist fiction that explores the inner lives of its characters through Virginia Woolf's unique stream-of-consciousness technique.

The novel is both a vivid depiction of family life and a meditation on marriage, parenthood, childhood, grief, tyranny, and bitterness. As the First World War looms, the Ramsays' summer holiday in Scotland becomes a turning point for their family and society as a whole.

Edited by Stella McNichol with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee, this Penguin Classics edition offers a unique insight into one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. Virginia Woolf's innovative style has had a lasting impact on literary history, cementing her reputation as a major 20th-century author and feminist.
