This volume analyses Virginia Woolfs novels through a philosophical lens, providing an interpretive overview of her works through Hans-Georg Gadamers hermeneutic ontology. The text argues that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolfs novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their complexity and depth, it is both useful and helpful to comprehend the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed, interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist movement, and Woolfs novels took part in this conversation. For his part, Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions, dedicating his lifes work to the concept of interpretation. Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation, arguing that it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many ways, Woolfs novels represent an enactment of Gadamers philosophy, as they emphasize the radical questionability of the worldwhat this interpretive imperative requires of its participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other end, Gadamers philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied to Woolfs novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the literary text and its interpretation participate in this universality and is shaped by it.
