Reception and criticism edit

Are there any critics of this book stating it is utterly boring, and in terms of literary quality quite the opposite of her masterpiece Orlando ? --Awaler (talk) 17:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I don't know of anyone who has said that the book is "utterly boring", per se, but it has often been dismissed (alongside The Voyage Out) as an example of "Orthodox Realism" (see David Trotter's paper in the Cambidge Companion to Woolf, for instance). It certainly has not enjoyed the same level of scholarly acclaim or criticism as Woolf's later novels.--Illu45 (talk) 17:23, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Working Title and Drafts edit

Just wondering if it would be a good idea to include the novel's working title ('Dreams and Realities') somewhere in the article? Also, perhaps including a little bit of information regarding the novel's drafts? Illu45 (talk) 17:24, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
