Overview
Considered by the author herself to be “the best of [her] books,” To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf’s third novel and modernist masterpiece.
In 1910, the Ramsays gather at their summer home in the Isle of Skye with their children, colleagues and friends. James, the youngest son, wants to visit the lighthouse with his mother only to have his father, the philosophical but inadvertently dictatorial Mr. Ramsay, dismiss his wish. Lily, a young but passionate painter, wants to create a portrait of Mrs. Ramsay and James; but is plagued by anxiety due to the discouragement of Charles Tansley. Mr. Ramsay wants comfort and sympathetic assurances from his wife about his place in the world and the legacy of his work; and she, Mrs. Ramsay, the matariach, is a woman who finds strength in her efforts to ensure that things–and people–remain whole.
Set on two days ten years apart, To the Lighthouse is a masterfully crafted exploration of the human experience and the search for meaning in each moment of life: good, bad, trying, and triumphant. Described at the time of being written as, “an entirely new…pyschological poem,” the semi-autobiographical novel uses a stream of consciousness narrative structure to lay bare the myseries and harsh realities of familial relationships.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of To the Lighthouse is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
