Summary

Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf is a modernist novel that explores the life and experiences of Jacob Flanders, a young man navigating his way through early 20th-century England. Through vivid descriptions and fragmented narrative, the book delves into themes of identity, memory, and the passage of time, capturing the essence of a life both ordinary and profound. Woolf's unique style provides a meditation on the elusiveness of character and the impact of war on personal and collective histories.

Jacob's Room

Description

An experimental novel about a young man who yearns for something greater than his everyday life holds.

New to the Vintage Classics Woolf series, this is Woolf's groundbreaking experimental novel.

Jacob's Room is Virginia Woolf's first truly experimental novel. It is a portrait of a young man, tracing his life from childhood, to Cambridge University, and to his early adult life in artistic London. Jacob always yearns for something greater, and embarks on a voyage to the Mediterranean before the war begins and his fate is forever altered. Impressionistic in style, the narrative is as inspired now as it was when it first appeared.
