With its publication in 1922, Virginia Woolf revolutionized the modern
novel with Jacob's Room. Based on the life of her own brother, this
unforgettable book chronicles the life and times of Jacob Flanders, from
childhood to his death in World War I. An untraditional tale focusing on
a flow of random impressions through the minds of its characters,
Jacob's Room remains an important work in the development of the novel
form-and a shining example of Woolf's genius and literary daring.
