Description: "To the Lighthouse is one of Virginia Woolf's most widely read and commonly studied novels. It is the ideal companion to reading and studying the novel, setting To the Lighthouse in its historical, intellectual and cultural contexts; offering analyses of its themes, style, and structure; providing exemplary close readings; and presenting an up-to-date account of its critical reception. The book also includes a brief plot summary and guide to characters to enable students to progress quickly from early concerns about what is happening in the novel. It includes points for discussion, suggestions for further study, and an annotated guide to relevant reading."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
