HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. JACOB'S ROOM, Virginia Woolf's
third novel, marks her first foray into Modernist experimentation.
The narrative traces Jacob's childhood in Cornwall and his
education at Cambridge, culminating in an evocative portrait of his
adult life in London and abroad. Jacob is romantically torn between
the artistic Florinda, the upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the
beautiful, but married, Sandra Wentworth Williams. This tissue of
romance, though, is torn apart by the cataclysmic events of the
First World War. Woolf poignantly depicts the life of Jacob through
a sequence of alternating perspectives that combine letters,
fragments of dialogue and the ephemeral impressions of those
nearest to him. Jacob's voice becomes the absent centre of one of
Modernism's first great novels.
