    About this ebook

    This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.  

    Jacob’s Room is at once Virginia Woolf’s most cinematic and most poetic novel.  Throwing off traditional novelistic conventions, she devised a stylistically radical new book shaped by the memories of a lost brother, a clear-eyed feminist sensibility, and a fierce pacifism. Using a condensed, imagistic method, Woolf tells the story of Jacob Flanders, a young man destined for the trenches of World War I.
