description: Virginia Woolf's first major novel was hailed by E.M. Forster as" a tremendous surprise . . . a new type of fiction has swum into view". The story of a sensitive young man's childhood, college days, love affairs, travels, and death in the war, "Jacob's Room" established Virginia Woolf as one of the first writers to focus not on plot or action, but on the rich, complex, often startling inner lives of her characters.
