ARTISTIC FEATURES OF THE NOVELS OF VIRGINIA WOOLF

Abstract

This thesis the artistic features of the novels of Virginia Woolf within the broader framework of literary modernism. The study explores Woolf’s innovative narrative strategies, including stream of consciousness, interior monologue, symbolic structuring, temporal fluidity, and psychological characterization. Through close textual analysis of major works such as Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, The Waves, and Orlando, the article demonstrates how Woolf redefined the English novel by prioritizing subjective perception over objective realism. The research integrates modernist theory, feminist criticism, and philosophical perspectives on time and consciousness. It argues that Woolf’s artistic method not only transformed narrative structure but also expanded the epistemological and aesthetic possibilities of fiction
