To the Lighthouse and Beyond

About this book

Using the psychological and structural dynamics of "To the Lighthouse" as its center, this study explores the variety of ways that Woolf dealt with what she called her -odd family complex.- Patterns of conflict that emerge in the earier narratives, fictional and non-fictional, explain why writing this novel was such a crucial act. Furthermore, the subsequent narratives are revealed as a series of remarkably resourceful strategies for dealing with the unresolved issues raised in "To the Lighthouse.""
