Summary
As the preceding chapters have demonstrated, Woolf’s later novels repeatedly relate scientific concepts to questions of human identity. They explore and adapt ideas central to contemporary quantum physics, neurology, radio discourse, and evolutionary science in order to affirm that the self encompasses multiple aspects and identifications, and to depict a fundamental continuity between self, community, and natural world.
