Rooms in The Years (1937) with Trudi Tate
The Years is a remarkable novel which explores the history of an extended family from the 1880s until the 1930s. It is Woolf’s history of her own time, and much of the novel is set in particular rooms belonging to the characters.
It is a powerful, moving, sometimes lyrical work, with memorable characters, and a strong sense of the rooms even though they are not often described in close detail. How does Woolf achieve this curious effect, and why is it important?
