Condition: Good. J.M. Dent & Sons (Everymans Library edition, 1982). Jacket clean with minimal shelfwear; pages lightly toned, binding tight.
Mrs. Ramsay, inspired by Woolfs own mother, becomes the emotional axis of a world seen through fleeting consciousness and shifting relationships. Across its luminous, interior prose, Woolf traces the delicate pattern of lifes impermanence: the small gestures, unspoken affections, and silences that shape human connection.
As M.C. Bradbrook notes in the introduction, the novel marks a decisive point in the development of English fiction blending Proustian introspection with Woolfs own stream-of-consciousness technique to create what she herself called a novel of elegy. To the Lighthouse received the Femina Vie Heureuse Prize in 1927 and remains an essential text in modernist literature.
