Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Katherine Mansfield dated 13 February 1921,stating: “What I admire in you so much is your transparent quality. [In Jacob’s Room] I’m always, chopping & changing from one level to another. I think what I’m at is to change the consciousness, & so to break up the awful stodge…I feel as if I didn’t want just all realism any more—only thoughts & feelings—no cups & tables.”
