Description
This detailed analysis of the language strategies within ten of Virginia Woolf's longer works allows for a closer evaluation of the technical stages of this author's career. The study looks beyond "what she said" in order to describe "how she said it", through her manipulation of language structures. Works discussed include: The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To The Lighthouse, Orlando, The Waves, The Years, and Between the Acts.
