Jacob's Room

Virginia WoolfAos third novel, AuJacobAos RoomAu (1922) differs from its two predecessors in its experimental, abstract approach to writing. Jacob FlandersAo life is examined largely through the impressions and accounts of others in his life, mostly women, creating a portrait of a young man both representative of and victimized by Edwardian society. The novel coincided with WoolfAos emerging interest in feminism and is critical of the righteous patriarchy of Authe other sideAu, Authe men in clubs and cabinetsAu.
