Jacob's Room: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

Jacobâ€™s Room is Virginia Woolfâ€™s experimental third novel, set in England during the halcyon days before World War I. The text reprinted here is the first British edition, which Woolf approved, and which retains her original layout, including paragraph spacing.
A generous â€œContextsâ€ section provides extracts from Woolfâ€™s diaries and letters as well as comments on the novel from her fellow writers and friends, among them E. M. Forster and T. S. Eliot. Also included are the short stories â€œThe Mark on the Wall,â€ â€œKew Gardens,â€ and â€œAn Unwritten Novel,â€ which Woolf viewed as early experiments with the innovative method used in Jacobâ€™s Room. An additional short story, â€œA Womanâ€™s College from Outside,â€ which Woolf originally intended to be Chapter 10 of Jacobâ€™s Room, is also included. Finally, Woolfâ€™s classic essay â€œModern Novels,â€ written shortly before she began work on Jacobâ€™s Room, provides insight into her aesthetic and technique.

â€œCriticismâ€ is divided into two sections: â€œContemporary Reception and Reviewsâ€ contains personal responses to the novel, from Lytton Strachey and E. M. Forster, as well as eleven reviews from contemporary periodicals. â€œCritical Essaysâ€ offers insightful interpretations by Judy Little, Alex Zwerdling, Kate Flint, Kathleen Wall, and Edward L. Bishop.

A Selected Bibliography is also included.
