Virginia Woolf’s Style
Abstract
Virginia Woolf's works are strongly idiosyncratic, strange, a surprise to the new reader. Teachers sometimes ascribe this impression of strangeness to Virginia Woolf's style and treat the books as 'difficult' texts. This atmosphere of mystical difficulty surrounding the books is misleading. In fact, the strong impression created by Virginia Woolf's writings is a whole impression: the structure, characterisation, themes, and other elements of the whole text contribute to our surprise as we read. The style is not 'difficult' in itself.
