Introduction

Abstract

The introduction discusses the importance of walking and of geographical places in Woolf’s works, and then argues that an investigation of Woolf’s texts can show how she constructs her characters by way of different applications of the three categories of place, time and gender/class. Key concepts from scholars such as Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, Mikhail Bakhtin, Yi-Fu Tuan and Gillian Rose are introduced.
