Jacob's Room (novel)

"Jacob's Room" is a novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1922. It follows the life of Jacob Flanders, a young man navigating early 20th-century England. The novel explores his relationships, education, and experiences through a stream-of-consciousness narrative. Woolf uses rich imagery and fragmented storytelling to capture Jacob's inner thoughts and the impressions of those around him. The work addresses themes of identity, mortality, and the complexities of human connection, ultimately reflecting the transient nature of life and the impact of societal expectations. Woolf's innovative style marked a significant development in modernist literature.
