Abstract

(Not really, but there is a moment when we think, Maybe?) WOOLF 'S MOTHER, Julia Stephen, was an extraordinary woman, with eyes like cups and a mouth that turned down and a chin you have seen in a dozen paintings. Virginia Woolf is not like her mother, not like Mrs. Ramsay. She saw her father, Sir Leslie Stephen, scholar, writer, and mountain climber, and her mother, Julia Stephen, the tallest thing on the island, painted here in the black-and-white stripes of someone called just Mrs. Ramsay. Elegy?" In the novel's short interlude - "Time Passes" - before the family returns to the island 10 years later, Mrs. Ramsay dies in brackets, Mr. Ramsay's arms reaching out for her.
