A landmark work of literary criticism, Virginia Woolf's Major Novels: The Fables of Anon presents a rigorous and illuminating analysis of Virginia Woolf's most celebrated fiction. Maria DiBattista argues that Woolf's novels function as sustained mythic fables, tracing the anonymous voice she called Anon through masterworks such as Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves. With scholarly precision and elegant prose, DiBattista uncovers the structural and philosophical underpinnings that unite Woolf's narrative vision, placing her firmly within — and beyond — the modernist tradition. This authoritative study remains an essential text for students and scholars of twentieth-century literature seeking a deeper understanding of one of fiction's most innovative voices.
