Virginia Woolf's second novel, Night and Day (1919), portrays the
gradual changes in a society, the patterns and conventions of which
are slowly disintegrating; where the representatives of the younger
generation struggle to forge their own way, for '... life has to be
faced: to be rejected; then accepted on new terms with rapture'.
Woolf begins to experiment with the novel form while demonstrating
her affection for the literature of the past. Jacob's Room (1922),
Woolf's third novel, marks the bold affirmation of her own voice
and search for a new form to express her view that 'the human soul
... orientates itself afresh every now & then. It is doing so
now. No one can see it whole therefore.' Jacob's life is presented
in subtle, delicate and tantalising glimpses, the novel's gaps and
silences are as replete with meaning as the wicker armchair
creaking in the empty room.
