We know from Virginia Woolf's diaries and letters that she intended the novel To the Lighthouse to be autobiographical. In a memoir written toward the end of her life, she stated that in writing the novel she had "ceased to be obsessed" by her mother, who had died when Woolf was a girl of thirteen. This paper explores the evolving relationship of a grown daughter with a mother long dead and the ways in which the writing of the novel both reflected and altered that internal relationship.
从弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的日记和信件中我们了解到,她有意让小说《到灯塔去》具有自传性质。在她晚年所写的一篇回忆录中,她表示在创作这部小说时,她已经不再被自己的母亲“困扰”,母亲在她13岁时就去世了。本文探讨了一个成年女儿与早已离世的母亲之间不断演变的关系,以及小说创作如何既反映又改变了这种内在关系。
