Night and Day (en Inglés) - Virginia Woolf

Night and Day

Virginia Woolf

Although known for her later experiments with style and structure, Virginia Woolf set out in her early novels to master the traditional form. Her second novel, Night and Day, presents itself as a seemingly conventional marriage plot, complete with love triangles, broken engagements, and unrequited affections. Beneath these conventional trappings, however, the book's deeper concerns are resolutely subversive. The main characters-a quartet of friends and would-be lovers-come together, pull apart, and struggle to reconcile socially-prescribed norms of love and marriage with their own beliefs and ambitions.
