Résumé :
Time has always been an irresistible fascination in literature. the great authors who wrote about Time, such as Yourcenar, Proust, Joyce or woolf have all offered their unique perception of time. For some it was a way to self-introspect, for others a tool to describe the world in which they lived. Yet, they all have one thing in common: writing time implies a movement, a progressive, but constant flow of the action. There is no doubt that this tension is a part of Time: no matter that one wants to crystallize it, to split it up, to slow it down or even to speed it up. the feat of ingenuity will be to carry the reader into another dimension. the writer will have to use all its potential to build a universe as coherent as possible in order to keep the reader in rapt attention.
This vivid description excerpted from virginia woolf's' jacob's room dips us into the bewitching atmosphere, not to say disturbing, of the vast moors of England. the way theses landscapes are described, the influences of time and place, the interaction between humanity and nature are part of a singular style that we will try to explain. Much more than being a simple landscape description, these are the lineaments of a new relation with the world. Thus, we will try to analyze how V. woolf wrote the description of this landscape and to explain the literary issues raised by such a powerful prose.
