This week we are going to move from Joseph Conrad to Virginia Woolf and we are going to look for similarities and differences in these two novels.
There are a some very obvious differences between the novels, in fact they are so very different in so many ways that you may find it difficult to see past them and find any similarities at all. Nevertheless there are some.
Don't forget also to look for the theme of empire. How does it present itself in Mrs Dalloway? What is the context in which this novel was written? What events in history have passed between the writing of this novel in the 1920s and the writing of Conrad's in the 1890s? How might these events have altered the general view of the world?
