Overview"""Jacob's Room"" is the third novel by Virginia Woolf, first published in 1922. It centres, in a very ambivalent way, around the life story of the protagonist Jacob Flanders. Set in pre-war England, the novel begins in Jacob's childhood and follows him through college at Cambridge, and then into adulthood. The story is told mainly through the perspectives of the women in Jacob's life, including the repressed upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the uninhibited young art student Florinda. His time in London forms a large part of the story. Towards the end of the novel he travels to Italy, then Greece... ""Jacob's Room"" is a departure from Woolf's earlier two novels, ""The Voyage Out"" (1915) and ""Night and Day"" (1919), which are more conventional in form. It is seen as an important modernist text."
