He left everything just as it was.... Did he think he would come
back?"
Jacob's Room" was the first book in Virginia Woolf's unique,
experimental style, making it an important text of early Modernism.
Ostensibly, the story is about the life of Jacob Flanders, the
title character, who is evoked purely by other characters'
perceptions and memories of him. Jacob remains an absence
throughout. Elegiac in tone, the work beautifully memorializes the
longing and pain of a generation that lost so many of its most
promising young men to World War I.
Upon it's release E.M. Forster remarked, "amazing.... a new type of
fiction has swum into view."
The Art of The Novella Series
Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella
is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless,
it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest
writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House
celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles
that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first
time.
