| Abstract: | Virginia Woolf alongside James Joyce, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and D.H. Lawrence represents one of the modernist writers of the period 1914-1927, a period which is considered the richest in the 20th century English literature. The characteristics of modernism are to be found in all of Virginia Woolf’s novels, but her narrative technique mostly implies elements belonging to the stream of consciousness, to the free indirect speech and to psychoanalysis. The writer’s characters suffer from spiritual loneliness, disillusionment and alienation and their physical and moral portraits are described by using the technique of the multiple narrative points of view. The unconventional use of the figures of speech also creates the particular symbols of Virginia Woolf’s novels. |
