This resource is a plan written by a second-year undergraduate at Durham University. It looks at the question: ‘The mind receives a myriad impressions – trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel.

To what extent, and in what ways, is Virginia Woolf interested in the ‘myriad impressions’ received by the human mind?

Assess the validity of this distinction with reference to ONE OR MORE literary works of your choice.
