As the Pargiters, a middle-class English family, move from the
oppressive confines of the Victorian home of the 1880s to the
`present day' of the 1930s, they are weighed down by the pressures
of war, the social strictures of patriarchy, capitalism and Empire,
and the rise of Fascism. Engaging with a painful struggle between
utopian hopefulness and crippled with despair, the novel is a
savage indictment of Virginia Woolf's society, but its bitter
sadness is relieved by the longing for some better way of life,
where `freedom and justice' might really be possible. This is
Virginia Woolf's longest novel, and the one she found the most
difficult to write. The most popular of all her writings during her
lifetime, it can now be re-read as the most challengingly
political, even revolutionary, of all her books. ABOUT THE SERIES:
