As Katharine Hilbery, the granddaughter of a famous man of letters
buried in Poets’ Corner, is helping her mother write the
biography of their illustrious progenitor, she becomes engaged to
William Rodney, a budding writer with an exaggerated opinion of his
own poetical talent. Meanwhile, the suffragette Mary Datchet is in
love with Ralph Denham, a lawyer and reviewer from a lowly
background, who in turn feels more attracted to Katharine. As the
stories and the romantic interests of these four young people
evolve and intertwine, a picture emerges of a society still
obsessed with class and hung up on the social mores of the
Victorian era. By far the most accessible and traditional of all
Virginia Woolf’s novels, Night and Day is a powerful evocation of
a fast-changing world, and, though conventional in style, addresses
many of the author’s recurring preoccupations, such as the role
of women in society and the difficulties in reconciling love and
marriage.
