'I am making up "To the Lighthouse" - the sea is to be heard all
through it' Inspired by the lost bliss of her childhood summers in
Cornwall, Virginia Woolf produced one of the masterworks of English
literature in To the Lighthouse. It concerns the Ramsay family and
their summer guests on the Isle of Skye before and after the First
World War. As children play and adults paint, talk, muse and
explore, relationships shift and mutate. A captivating fusion of
elegy, autobiography, socio-political critique and visionary
thrust, it is the most accomplished of all Woolf's novels. On
completing it, she thought she had exorcised the ghosts of her
imposing parents, but she had also brought form to a book every bit
as vivid and intense as the work of Lily Briscoe, the indomitable
artist at the centre of the novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
