Elementos de tragédia em The Children's Hour

Résumé

The term 'realism' has been used in many different ways. Thus, rather than assume or state a particular sense of the term to be used in this discussion of Virginia Woolf, we shall here consider her work in the light of various epistemological problems arising from a philosophy which for both intrinsic and historical reasons seems relevant to her life and work - the philosophy of G. E. Moore. Our exploration of the particular form of realism to be found in Virginia Woolf’s work will therefore lead us to consider problems of philosophy, literary criticism and techniques of fiction.
