No Plainer Manifestation Of The Modernist Trend In Contemporary English Fiction May Be Found Than In Virginia Woolfs Jacobs Room -the York Times I Have Seldom Read A Cleverer Bookit Is Exquisitely Written, But The Characters Do Not Vitally Survive In The Mind Because The Author Has Been Obsessed By Details Of Originality And Cleverness.-arnold Bennett Virginia Woolfs Third Novel, Jacobs Room (1922), Is A Penetrating Look At One Mans Life From Childhood Until His Untimely Death In The First World War. On The Surface, This Could Be Considered An Anti-war Novel, Yet It Is A Wildly Inventive Experimental Work That Dispels Traditional Forms Of Narration. The Nebulous Central Character, Jacob Flanders, Is Strangely Is Absent From The Novel, Yet The Spaces He Traversed Are Not.
