Described by Virginia Woolf herself as 'easily the best of my books', To the Lighthouse is a milestone of Modernism. Set on the Isle of Skye, the narrative centres on a promise which isn't to be fulfilled for a decade. Bearing all the hallmarks of Woolf's prose, To the Lighthouse has earned its reputation - it has lost not an iota of brilliance.

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was a Modernist writer, widely considered to be one of the most important of the twentieth century. She and her husband Leonard bought a hand-printing press in 1917, and they set up Hogarth Press in their house in Richmond, which published much of Virginia’s work, as well as those of friends and fellow luminaries. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Set – an artistic, philosophic and literary group which included John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey. Today she is best remembered for her novels – in particular To the Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway – and her essay A Room of One’s Own.
