Features: Jacob’s Room was published in 1922. The same year, James Joyce’s Ulysses was released, marking two significant events in European literary history. Prior to this, Virginia Woolf had published two novels, To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, which were stylistically closer to traditional realism. Jacob’s Room is generally considered a turning point in her creative process, marking the beginning of her experimentation with stream-of-consciousness technique. It also serves as a prelude to her later renowned stream-of-consciousness novels, such as Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves.
