description: 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.
