Jacob's Room Summary

Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf

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.

'A remarkable achievement' New Statesman

Jacob's Room Reviews

Jacob, of whom people speak, of whom they think, but who is never shown. And yet that denial of presence on the part of the author makes of him one of the most living presences in world literature. It's a remarkable achievement.-New Statesman

Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realisation of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition-New York Times
