"Jacob's Room" is the third novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1922. The
story revolves around the life of the protagonist, Jacob Flanders, but is
primarily presented through the perspectives of other characters. The novel
lacks a traditional plot or background, focusing instead on character study.
The theme of emptiness and absence permeates the narrative, creating an
elegiac atmosphere. Jacob is portrayed as a collection of memories and
sensations rather than a concrete reality. The story begins in Jacob's
childhood and follows him through college and adulthood, with a significant
portion set in London. The novel is considered a departure from Woolf's
earlier works, showcasing her experimental writing style. For further reading,
there is a scholarly book exploring the affectivity in "Jacob's Room."
External links to the novel and reviews are also provided.
