'The Lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a
yellow eye that opened suddenly and softly in the evening' To the
Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family
holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood,
on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have
spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they
expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War
looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally
challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of
memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an
intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it
represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary
values. The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers'
editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth
century to the end of the Second World War.
