This volume analyses Virginia Woolf's novels through a
philosophical lens, providing an interpretive overview of her works
through Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic ontology. The text argues
that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolf's
novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their
complexity and depth, it is both useful and helpful to comprehend
the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed,
interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist
movement, and Woolf's novels took part in this conversation. For
his part, Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions,
dedicating his life's work to the concept of interpretation.
Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation, arguing that
it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many
ways, Woolf's novels represent an enactment of Gadamer's
philosophy, as they emphasize the radical questionability of the
world-what this interpretive imperative requires of its
participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other
end, Gadamer's philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied
to Woolf's novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of
interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the
literary text and its interpretation participate in this
universality and is shaped by it.
