The Waves is Woolf’s most experimental novel and on this two-day course we’ll think about the language and structures of this ‘playpoem’ (as she referred to it) and the ideas it explores. The Waves represents the individual and shared lives of a group of friends from childhood to death. It is their voices that occupy most of the novel which is structured as a day passing from sunrise to sunset and by the rhythms of the sea. What is Woolf saying about language and meaning, experience and memory? What are the boundaries of the self? What can be shared? Come and be challenged about what a novel is and can be.
