NIGHT AND DAY - VIRGINIA WOOLF TASCHENBUCH

As Katharine Hilbery  the granddaughter of a famous man of letters buried in Poets' Corner  is
helping her mother write the biography of their illustrious progenitor  she becomes engaged to
William Rodney  a budding writer with an exaggerated opinion of his own poetical talent.
Meanwhile  the suffragette Mary Datchet is in love with Ralph Denham  a lawyer and reviewer
from a lowly background  who in turn feels more attracted to Katharine. As the stories and the
romantic interests of these four young people evolve and intertwine  a picture emerges of a
society still obsessed with class and hung up on the social mores of the Victorian era.  By far
the most accessible and traditional of all Virginia Woolf's novels  Night and Day is a powerful
evocation of a fast-changing world  and  though conventional in style  addresses many of the
author's recurring preoccupations  such as the role of women in society and the difficulties in
reconciling love and marriage.
