To the Lighthouse

To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf's novel, is considered the epitome of high modernism, that by abandoning the traditional psycho-narration (he said, she said—as told by the narrator), transforms the genre with the new technique of stream of consciousness. In one sentence: the text focuses on the Ramsays and their friends and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920.The novel contains three sections (or movements): in the first we see the Ramsays and their friends spending and an afternoon and evening in the Isle of Skye. The second section is an interlude of ten years which memorializes not only the great beauty that was Mrs. Ramsay, but also the house and its surroundings. The third section shows how the family and friends have changed as they make a final visit ten years later, and how they feel when they finally reach the Lighthouse.
