About To the Lighthouse
To the Lighthouse follows the Ramsay family and their guests over the course of two days, set ten years apart, in their holiday home on the Isle of Skye. This seemingly mundane plot belies the novel’s great emotional and philosophical depth: it is a thought-provoking meditation on the passage of time, family relationships, women’s role in society and the fundamental subjectivity of our experiences. The work also stands out for its use of experimental techniques, in particular stream of consciousness, one of the key characteristics of the modernist movement.
To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as a masterpiece of English literature: it placed 15th on the Modern Library’s list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century, and in 2005 it was selected by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels since 1923.
