Episode of Series “The 19th Century Novel”.
Following a dramatised scene from Virginia Woolf’s novel “Life Escapes”, Professor Arnold Kettle argues that Virginia Woolf was not just telling a story but recreating an era of reality and this leads her to break with the traditional form of the novel in a way which emphasises the moment-to-moment impressions of life.
