Jacobs Room
by Virginia Woolf
Category: Fiction

A young man's life during the early years of the twentieth century is examined through the eyes of those closest to him. As Jacob Flanders grows from childhood to adulthood, the events and people that influence his life are examined solely through the perspectives of others, leading to an incomplete understanding of who Jacob really is. Virginia Woolf's third novel Jacob's Room is a character study that ponders how well any person can be known. Following the author's more conventional novels The Voyage Out and Night and Day, Jacob's Room is as an important modernist text, demonstrating Woolf's progression as a writer of modernist literature. Be it mystery, romance, drama, comedy, politics, or history, great literature stands the test of time.
