Implies by Woolf, John raises the lump of glass to the light and holds it “so that its irregular mass blotted out the body and extended right arm of his friend” (11), prefiguring the way in which

Bibliography Research Topic Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) was an English writer, one of the foremost Modernists, and influential member of the Bloomsbury intellectual group. My topic will cover the influence of “war” as both historical events and intellectual concept on her life, particularly concentrating on her wartime writings: Three Guineas, Between the Acts and the Voyage Out.
