Woolf's philosophy of literary subjectivity : Virginia Woolf's 'To the lighthouse' and Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist theory

Sartre's theory of existentialism is used as a lens to interpret Woolf's approach to literature as the philosophy of "literary subjectivity." The notion of subjectivity is explored within theoretical existentialism and then applied to Woolf's life and her moment of awakening to subjectivity. To the Lighthouse is examined theoretically and textually to demonstrate Woolf's philosophy of literary subjectivity.
