LYRICISM AND OPPOSING FEELINGS IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S MRS DALLOWAY AND IN GRAHAM SWIFT’S THE LIGHT OF DAY

摘要

THE PAPER SHOWS HOW WOOLF AND SWIFT WROTE SIMILAR NOVELS IN TWO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS: THAT OF MODERNISM AND THAT OF POSTMODERNISM. THE PAPER TRIES TO FIND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THEIR NOVELS AS FAR AS LYRICISM IS CONCERNED. OPPOSING FEELINGS ARE USED TO CREATE LYRICISM. MOMENTS OF BEING AND PERCEPTION ARE ASPECTS WHICH ARE ANALYSED WITH RESPECT TO THEIR ABILITY TO EVINCE LYRICISM IN THE NOVELS BY WOOLF AND SWIFT. THE PAPER DRAWS PARALLELS BETWEEN WOOLF’S AND SWIFT’S USE OF LYRICISM IN THEIR NOVELS.
