'I am making up "To the Lighthouse" - the sea is to be heard all
through it' Inspired by the lost bliss of her childhood summers in
Cornwall, Virginia Woolf produced one of the masterworks of English
literature in To the Lighthouse. It concerns the Ramsay family and
their summer guests on the Isle of Skye before and after the First
World War. As children play and adults paint, talk, muse and explore,
relationships shift and mutate. A captivating fusion of elegy,
autobiography, socio-political critique and visionary thrust, it is
the most accomplished of all Woolf's novels. On completing it, she
thought she had exorcised the ghosts of her imposing parents, but she
had also brought form to a book every bit as vivid and intense as the
work of Lily Briscoe, the indomitable artist at the centre of the
novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics
has made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
