An attempt to underline Virginia Woolf’s aesthetic by revealing the importance of the frames in her writings. While Virginia Woolf recognized that frames are required to achieve a unified vision, she remained aware of their drawbacks - exclusivity, distortion and imposition. Within her novels she repeatedly uses windows, thresholds, mirrors and to a lesser degree, rooms to frame scenes. This book provides an original theory, maintaining that these random frames of life achieve the goal that Virginia Woolf set herself as a writer; to provide a perspective without imposing their own design and to chart the border between life and art.
