ISBN: 9780156034791 - jacob's room (annotated): the virginia woolf library annotated edition (9 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. An elegiac portrait of an elusive youth before the Great War, told through the rooms, letters, and lives he leaves behind. Woolf's first distinctly modernist novel follows an aloof yet beloved young man from his childhood through his student days to his too-early death during World War I. The narrative tracks Jacob Flanders from a boyhood beach in Cornwall through university debates at Cambridge to the streets of London, observing him through the eyes of the friends and lovers drawn to his reticent presence. Her chapters assemble the portrait out of fleeting conversations, unposted letters, and empty rooms, following Jacob Flanders across Italy toward the Acropolis. Annotated and with an introduction by Vara Neverow Coming of Age: Jacob grows from an obstinate boy collecting moths and sheep bones into a university student sailing a yacht past the Scilly Isles. Small Town Setting: High on Dods Hill above Scarborough, Mrs. Flanders mends breeches in a Roman fortress while neighbors watch every visitor approach her orchard gate. Multiple POV: Fleeting perspectives reveal the world around him, from Clara Durrant cutting grapes in a Cornish greenhouse to Florinda walking through Soho with a book of verse. Unreliable Narrator: A candid, nameless observer tracks Jacob through crowded London parties and ancient ruins, openly weighing the impossibility of capturing another person's soul. Also by This Author: Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando, A Biography and The Waves.…
