This volume brings together Virginia Woolf's last two novels, The
Years (1937) which traces the lives of members of a dispersed
middle-class family between 1880 and 1937, and Between the Acts
(1941), an account of a village pageant in the summer preceding the
Second World War which successfully interweaves comedy, satire and
disturbing observation. Rewriting the traditional family saga and
the pageant, these unsettling novels provide extraordinary
critiques of Englishness and English identity while pursuing
compelling existentialist and psychological themes such as the
nature of time, memory, personal relationships and sexual desire.
Their tightly constructed narratives enable the reader to
experience the fragmented lives of their characters and the
difficulties that they have in communicating with each other and
even understanding themselves. Read together, these novels
illuminate each other in ways that will engage both the student and
the general reader.
