Mapping the Modern Mind: Virginia Woolfs parodic approach to the art of fiction in Jacobs Room: In this study the author conducts a close reading of Virginia Woolf" s first " experimental" novel, Jacob" s Room (1922). Her reading is based on the fundamental premise that the novel is an exploration of fictional form, rather than an exposition of any preconceived idea. Jacob" s Room is an essentially modernist text, and is characterised by extensive genre-mixing typical of the art of fiction in the early 20th century. Throughout her study the author analyses the extent to which the novel transgress the " boundaries" of the novelistic genre. She explores the generic interface between the novel and those genres which are deemed to be innate to Virginia Woolf" s sensibility, i.e. the journalistic essay, biography and impressionist painting. The premise of this study leads the author to read the novel on two levels of significance: On the narrative, " surface" level of the novel, Woolf constructs the tragic life of a promising young Englishman, Jacob Flanders, who dies in the First World War. Simultaneously, on the metafictional level of significance, Woolf, through her garrulous narrator, mocks and evaluates the actions of her characters, experimenting with various points of view in an attempt to define the character of her protagonist. Jacob" s " room" is thus conceived as a " mental space" in which a modern writer" s mind is " mapped" . The central aesthetic question which is debated in this room or forum relates to the essential art of modern fiction in general and the efficiency of characterisation in fiction in particular. It is argued that Virginia Woolf probes into the epistemic question of the essence of modern man and, in an attempt to capture the essence of her protagonist, speculates on the corresponding literary question how, and to what extent, the " soul" of man can to be represented in fiction. The author uses this generic approach to the novel as a broad structuring principle for her study of Jacob" s Room. After discussing the socio-political context of modernism in the early 20th century, including the impact of the First World War on modernist writing, she focuses her study on those aspects of Woolf" s fiction which are deemed fundamental to the narrative strategy in Jacob" s Room, i.e. the role and nature of Woolf" s humour within the context of modernism the " nodes" or clusters of metaphors and symbols recurring in the text the role of the narrator as " toastmaster" of the debate on character and fiction in Jacob" s Forum the extent to which t, Englisch, Ebook.

Lindy van Rooyen was born into a bilingual family in Pretoria, South Africa in 1970. Literature has not always been her profession, but her passion. She completed her law degree (LL.M) at the University of Stellenbosch in 1998, and after four years in Copenhagen, Denmark she settled in Hamburg, Germany in 2002. Shortly thereafter she commenced her Masters degree in Scandinavian and English Literature at the University of Hamburg, which she successfully completed in 2011. Through her extensive academic study of the law, foreign languages and literature, Lindy van Rooyen has developed a keen interest in the grey areas between the precision of language and the seemingly infinite realm of human experience. Her first contact with the fiction of Virginia Woolf at Cambridge University in the summer of 2003 proved to be pivotal. Virginia Woolfs quest to define the essence of the human soul within the limits of the art of fiction seemed to echo her own fascination with the tension between the necessity for brevity, the economy of language and the seemingly boundless vistas of the human mind, which had been the subject of literary philosophers like Shakespeare, George Eliot and Virginia Woolf. In her study of Jacobs Room, the author traces Woolfs attempt to express and define the soul of modern man within the confines of a single, fictional room.
