Books with title Night And Day

Night and Day is a novel by Virginia Woolf first published on 20 October 1919. Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives and romantic attachments of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. The novel examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness, and success.Dialogue and descriptions of thought and actions are used in equal amount, unlike in Woolf's later book, To the Lighthouse. There are four major characters, Katharine Hilbery, Mary Datchet, Ralph Denham, and William Rodney. Night and Day deals with issues concerning women's suffrage, if love and marriage can coexist, and if marriage is necessary for happiness. Motifs throughout the book include the stars and sky, the River Thames, and walks. Also, Woolf makes many references to the works of William Shakespeare, especially As You Like It.

Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged, but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William Rodney, and her dangerous attraction to the passionate Ralph Denham. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - women's rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine's mother, Margaret, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her own father's life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences. Virginia Woolf's delicate second novel is both a love story and a social comedy, yet it also subtly undermines these traditions, questioning a woman's role and the very nature of experience.Virginia Woolf was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929) with its famous dictum, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."Woolf suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life, thought to have been the result of what is now termed bipolar disorder, and committed suicide by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.

Night and Day, Woolf’s second novel was published in 1919 and for the most part is conventional, dealing with current issues including women’s suffrage, marriage and not-marriage through the lives of a few principal characters. Katherine Hilbery represents the autobiographical element, the grand-daughter of a famous poet and with a mother who, combined with the past, exercises a significant impression on her life. Another of the principal characters, Mary Datchett, chooses to work even though, with a private income, she had no need to. In Mary, there are elements of the emancipated female found in A Room of One’s Own, a woman, with a secure financial footing, stepping out with her own agenda. Yet Mary also shows sign of that ‘Angle in the Room’, mode in that she serves as a sounding board for troubles hoisted upon her by the other characters. Though she loves Ralph Denham, the third of the main characters, she rejects him finally because she sees through his insincerity.In some ways, Woolf shows the two male leads – William Rodney being the other – as those with faults, typically harking back to Victorian ideals, which she contrasts with the modernity represented by the female leads. As it happens of course, the conjunction of the two ideals doesn’t necessarily lead to the kind of romantic resolution that might be expected.

Night and Day is a book by an English writer Virginia Woolf. This novel is autobiographic in many ways, however, the author told that her sister Vanessa, whose name was mentioned in the dedication, had been a prototype for the main character Katharine. Like in any other English novel, you can find in Night and Day a love triangle, humorous lyric sketches, extended dialogues, detailed descriptions of nature and everyday life. At the same time, the writer fills the traditional form with a new content – the main characters’ attitude towards love and marriage. Katharine and Ralph are dreamers, when they try to get closer they start agonizing and doubting wheather their feelings are real. Nevertheless, despite of the failures they steadily move from dreams to reality, from the night into the day.

This story takes place in the coalfields of South Staffordshire. Disaster came to the coal mine one day when it flooded with water. Simeon, Rueben’s brother, was trapped along with several other people. Rueben went into the mine to save them, but had unexpected difficulties along the way, hence the title of the story for this time period. This story illustrates several Biblical principles such as “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”—John 15:13.
