This book argues that Woolf's preoccupation with the literary past
had a profound impact on the content and structure of her novels.
It analyses Woolf's reading and writing practices via her
essays, diaries and reading notebooks in order to provide a
framework for examining her response to the literary past. It
presents chronological studies of eight novels, exploring how
Woolf's intensive reading surfaced in her fiction. The book sheds
light on Woolf's varied and intricate use of literary allusions;
examines ways in which Woolf revisited and revised plots and tropes
from earlier fiction; and looks at how she used parody as a means
both of critical comment and homage.
