Liking or Disliking: Woolf, Conrad, Lawrence

about

Liking or Disliking: Woolf, Conrad, Lawrence by Michael O’Neill is an engaging scholarly essay that delves into the nuanced portrayals of characters in the works of Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, and D.H. Lawrence. Part of the Master Narratives series, this micro-ebook explores how these authors challenge traditional notions of character judgment and moral certainty in To the Lighthouse, Heart of Darkness, and Women in Love. O’Neill analyses the complex interplay of admiration, condemnation, and ambiguity in their characterisations, providing a deep understanding of modernist narrative techniques. This essay is essential reading for literature students, scholars, and enthusiasts interested in modernist fiction and character analysis.
