To the Lighthouse is Woolf's most autobiographical and best-known novel, and this new edition provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of its appeal.

David Bradshaw is a well-known and respected Woolf scholar whose OWC edition of Mrs Dalloway has been widely praised by academics and general readers alike.

The Introduction discusses the autobiographical parallels, Woolf's potrayal of her parents, the social and political contexts, the metaphor of damp, Woolf's technique and modernism and includes new material on the novel's setting on the Isle of Skye. Full and up-to-date bibliography.

Thorough notes include illuminating quotations from Woolf's manuscript and autobiographical writings to point up real-life parallels and literary allusions.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf nasceu em Londres a 25 de janeiro de 1882, filha de Sir Leslie Stephen, escritor e historiador ilustre da Inglaterra vitoriana. Desde cedo ligada a grupos de intelectuais, casou em 1912 com Leonard Woolf e com ele fundou a editora Hogarth Press, responsável pela revelação de autores como Katherine Mansfield e T. S. Eliot e pela publicação das suas próprias obras. Reconhecida como uma das mais proeminentes figuras do modernismo britânico, destacam-se entre os seus trabalhos os romances Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) e As Ondas (1931), assim como o ensaio Um Quarto que Seja Seu (1929). Após sucessivas crises depressivas e não suportando o isolamento provocado pelo agravar da Segunda Guerra Mundial, suicida-se a 28 de março de 1941, em Lewes.
