MEMORY AND REFLECTIVE NOSTALGIA IN "TO THE LIGHTHOUSE" BY VIRGINIA WOOLF AND "THE GO-BETWEEN" BY L. P. HARTLEY.
The mode of nostalgia for past happiness is central in contemporary accounts of earlier epochs, and it becomes particularly visible in British prose fiction set in the first half of the twentieth century.

I argue that in such accounts memories and recollections are shaped by the mode of nostalgia. This paper focuses on the aspects of reflective nostalgia as recently theorized by Svetlana Boym. It opens with a short introduction into the history of nostalgia and the experience of war for generating a nostalgic longing for the past. It also elaborates on the etymological issues and implications suggested by concepts of nostos [the return] and algos [pain]. I would argue that memories featured in British twentieth-century prose fiction are influenced by the workings of nostalgia which may be either idealizing or imbued with pain and sorrow. Consequently, I claim that the focus placed on the act of nostos promotes the interplay of nostalgia and the pastoral mode; by contrast, the expression of algos rather selects the elegiac mode. Thus, the paper seeks to prove that the different foci of nostalgia influence the modality of the twentieth-century prose fiction, as exemplified in "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf and "The Go-Between" by L. P. Hartley. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Comparative Studies / Komparatīvistikas Almanahs is the property of Journal of Comparative Studies / Komparatovistikas Almanahs and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
