To The Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Logos & Lore — June 2025.

Framing

“From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and conflict between men and women. To the Lighthouse is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland.”¹
