Time and Journey in Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, The Voyage Out, and To the Lighthouse
ZVONÍČKOVÁ, Andrea
The aim of this thesis is to analyse Virginia Woolf's novels The Voyage Out, Mrs Dalloway, and To the Lighthouse, and to interpret the reoccurring themes of time and journey in relation to the author's contemporary philosophical and artistic context. It also introduces the theories of Henri Bergson, William James, and Edmund Husserl, which are later applied in the literary analysis. The thesis shows the subjectivity of Woolf's work and attempts to find the main ideas presented to Woolf's reader.
The concept of fleetingness in V. Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway
ZVONÍČKOVÁ, Andrea
This bachelor thesis focuses on the concept of fleetingness in Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway. The aim of this work is to offer a complete overview of these moments in the story, interpret them and show which techniques the author employs to achieve the sensation of fleetingness; all of this with the help of Henri Bergson's theories of time. Based on this philosopher's thoughts the work will analyse the concept of objective and subjective time, which appears in Mrs. Dalloway. As time is one of the main topics of this thesis, there will also be an overview of the most significant philosophical theories dealing with the issue.
