Аннотация
This volume brings together Virginia Woolf's last two
novels, The Years (1937) which traces the lives of
members of a dispersed middle-class family between
1880 and 1937, and Between the Acts (1941), an
account of a village pageant in the summer preceding
the Second World War which successfully interweaves
comedy, satire and disturbing observation. Rewriting
the traditional family saga and the pageant, these
unsettling novels provide extraordinary critiques of
Englishness and English identity while pursuing
compelling existentialist and psychological themes
such as the nature of time, memory, personal
relationships and sexual desire. Their tightly
constructed narratives enable the reader to
experience the fragmented lives of their characters
and the difficulties that they have in communicating
with each other and even understanding themselves.
Read together, these novels illuminate each other in
ways that will engage both the student and the
general reader.
