This resource is a plan written by a second-year undergraduate at Durham University.

To what extent, and in what ways, is Virginia Woolf interested in the ‘myriad impressions’ received by the human mind? This can be used as a starting point to research themes of objectivity, family life, femininity, and symbolism within Virginia Woolf’s various works.
