Abstract

Based on her own life experience, creationary practice and litteratrices’ brisk gender consciousness, Virginia Woolf made great efforts to detect the relation between females and literary creation, conjecturing dilemmas of traditional women’s culture and literature and indicating the close relationship between women’s literature and their social life. Giving a positive evaluation to both the practice and theory of women’s literature, she picked the traditional of women’s literature and developed the theme and form as well. Her creative point that “androgyny” was the perfect state for literary creation as well as a great way to dissolve diversities between men and women aroused intense responses and long-playing discussions among the literary world. Her vanward view of literary criticism not only had a instructional effect on the women’s literary creation at the time, but also indicated the trend of development of feminist literary criticism.
This thesis tries to comb through the feminist thoughts embodied in Virginia Woolf’s “To the lighthouse”, and to conduct a relatively integrated analysis of her feminist criticism concepts as well as her impact on Western feminist theories of a later generation.

摘  要

弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫以自己的人生经历和创作实践为出发点，凭借着一个女作家敏锐的性别意识，努力探索女性与文学创作的关系。她对传统女性文化与文学的困境进行了反思，指出了女性文学与社会生活的密切联系。伍尔夫积极评价女性文学的实践及理论，发掘女性文学的传统，并开拓了女性文学的主题和形式。她创造性地提出“雌雄同体”是文学创作的最佳状态，也是消融男女差异的良好途径的基本观点，在文坛上引起了强烈的反响和长期热烈的讨论。尤其是她在文学批评方面的超前意识，不仅对当时的女性文学创作有着积极的指导意义，而且也预示了女性主义文学批评的发展趋势。
本文试图通过梳理弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫的小说《到灯塔去》体现出来的女性主义思想，对其女性主义文学批评观念进行较为全面的分析，并考察她对后来西方乃至世界范围内的女性主义文论的影响。

1 Introduction
To the lighthouse has long been regarded as a representative work of Virginia Woolf both as a work of stream of consciousness and as a work that shows Woolf’s feminist perspectives. Having been interpreted in the light of stream of consciousness for a long time, To the Lighthouse was “rediscovered” by the 1960s feminists and has been leading the way of feminist literary criticism ever since. The purpose of the thesis is to probe into Woolf’s feminist thoughts.
