Kept at a Distance: The Role of the Intrusive Narrator in Virginia Woolf's Critique of the Portrayal of the Character in the Novel

This thesis looks at the Virginia Woolf's critique of the previous portrayal of characters in fiction and her adaptation of a new narrative style in order to convey a modern realism. Two of her novels include an intrusive narrator that serves to argue for the creation of a new form of representation of the character in the novel. Through the creation of distance and the parody of the genre, Woolf provides the reader a picture of their relationship with the character in the novel.
