Features: Jacob’s Room was published in 1922. That same year, James Joyce’s Ulysses was released, marking two major events in European literary history. Before this, Virginia Woolf had published two novels, The Voyage Out and Night and Day, which were relatively close in style to traditional realism. Jacob’s Room is generally considered a turning point in her creative process, the beginning of her experimentation with stream-of-consciousness techniques, and a precursor to her later famous stream-of-consciousness novels such as Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves.
