Book excerpt: What makes a life?First published in 1922, Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room follows the life of Jacob Flanders, from his childhood in the English countryside, to his college years in Cambridge, through to his adulthood during the First World War. Jacob is seldom described from his own point of view; rather, his life is portrayed in a fragmentary and almost elegiac manner from the eyes of the women in his life. In this sense, Jacob hardly exists has a concrete presence throughout the novel, but is rather a collection of memories and perceptions that his loved ones attempt to piece together.
