A sensitive, evocative work of fiction, To the Lighthouse,
published in 1927, remains one of Woolf’s greatest works. Written
in the modernist tradition, the novel begins in the summer home
of the Ramsays in the Isle of Skye, Scotland, where a set of
characters grapple with personal loss and trauma. Philosophical
and evocative, this novel deals with questions of memory, kinship,
art and the larger social order in a post-war world. Considered
one of the best English-language novels of the twentieth century,
To the Lighthouse has been adapted widely across television, theatre
and the opera.
