About The Book: Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf's third novel published on October 26, 1922, revolves ambiguously around Jacob Flanders. The narrative, primarily a character study, lacks a conventional protagonist and is constructed with a void in place of Jacob, portrayed through others' impressions. Embracing motifs of emptiness, the novel creates an elegiac atmosphere, presenting Jacob as a collection of memories and sensations rather than a concrete reality. Spanning pre-war England, Jacob's journey from childhood through Cambridge to adulthood unfolds, narrated mainly by the women in his life. A departure from Woolf's earlier works, Jacob's Room stands as a significant modernist text, showcasing her experimental narrative style. About The Author: Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), a prominent English modernist writer, pioneered the use of stream of consciousness in literature. Born into an affluent family, she received a home-schooled education in classics. Woolf began writing professionally in 1900 and, after her father's death, moved to Bloomsbury, forming the Bloomsbury Group. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, co-founding the Hogarth Press in 1917. Woolf's influential works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. Her essays, like A Room of One's Own, address feminist themes. Despite her literary achievements, Woolf battled mental illness, leading to her tragic suicide in 1941. The Title 'Jacob's Room written/authored/edited by Virginia Woolf', published in the year 2024.
