The Novels of Virginia Woolf is an intensive exploration into the experimental nature of the fictional art and thought of Virginia Woolf, a well-known exponent of the stream of consciousness technique and a talented, indefatigable writer. Although this book assimilates the relevant responses of the author to the issues of theme, plot, characterization and style as evidenced in her essays, short stories, biographies, letters and dairies, the critical focus is centred on the novels – The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Jacob’s Room, Mrs. Dalloway, to the Lighthouse, Orlando, The Waves, The years and between the Acts. The purpose of this book is to show to the readers of Virginia Woolf how she has registered a gradual and continual evolution in handling her themes, her characters and her style in the given contexts, how each of her novels is an innovative departure from the previous one and how life and art, individual and society have been beautifully merged with the components of poetry and drama, history and philosophy in the fictional framework of her novels thus forging an organic unity of their own.
