Rediscover Virginia Woolf - the definitive edition of her moving exploration of time, family and human experience

WITH INTROUCTIONS BY EAVAN BOLAND AND MAUD ELLMAN

The serene and maternal Mrs Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr Ramsay, together with their children and assorted guests, are holidaying on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse Virginia Woolf constructs a remarkable and moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life. One of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century, To the Lighthouse is often cited as Virginia Woolf's most popular novel.

The Vintage Classics Virginia Woolf series has been curated by Jeanette Winterson, and the texts used are based on the original Hogarth Press editions published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf.

Praise for To the Lighthouse

Woolf’s groundbreaking novel is still one of the best available accounts of self-mythologising middle-class family life and its oppressive construction of male and female identity

Rachel Cusk

I reread this book every once in a while, and every time I do I find it more capacious and startling. It’s so revolutionary and so exquisitely wrought that it keeps evolving on its own somehow, as if it’s alive

Alison Bechdel

A classic for a reason. My mind was warped into a new shape by her prose and it will never be the same again. The metaphysics she presents in the book are enacted in a way that allowed me to begin to understand that corner of philosophy

Greta Gerwig

To The Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time

Margaret Drabble

It is an elegy for lost times and family life

The Week

Thrillingly introspective
