"To the Lighthouse" is a novel by Virginia Woolf that was first published in 1927. The novel is set on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and centers around the Ramsay family and their friends, who are visiting the island for a summer holiday. The story is divided into three sections: "The Window," "Time Passes," and "The Lighthouse." In "The Window," the Ramsay family and their guests spend their time in the house, discussing art and literature, and engaging in everyday activities. One of the guests, Charles Tansley, is particularly disdainful of the others and Mrs. Ramsay becomes increasingly frustrated by his attitude. "Time Passes" is set ten years later, during which time the Ramsay's youngest son, James, has grown up and the First World War has occurred. The family home is now empty and falling into disrepair. In the final section, "The Lighthouse," the Ramsay's eldest son, Andrew, is killed in the war, and Mr. Ramsay, James, and a friend, go on a trip to the lighthouse, a trip which is symbolic of the journey through life, and come to a deeper understanding of themselves and each other.
Throughout the novel, Virginia Woolf explores themes of identity, gender roles, and the passage of time. The novel is known for its stream-of-consciousness style, which allows readers to see into the thoughts and emotions of the characters. The novel is considered a modernist masterpiece and one of Woolf's most famous works.
