About This Novel
"Night and Day" is one of Virginia Woolf's novels, published on October 20, 1919. Set in Edwardian London, the story contrasts the daily lives and romances of two heroines, Catherine Hilbury and Mary Datchett, and explores the relationship between love, marriage, happiness and success. Unlike Woolf's later work "The Lighthouse", the characters' dialogue, psychological description and behavioral description occupy the same space in this book. The story has four protagonists: Catherine Silbery, Mary Datchett, Ralph Denham, and William Rodney. They explore life hard, pursue the true meaning of love, and find their true selves. "Night and Day" mentioned issues such as women's suffrage, whether love and marriage can coexist, and whether marriage is a prerequisite for happiness. Themes that appear throughout the book include the stars, the Thames and the Shiner Walk. In the book, Woolf quotes Shakespeare's works many times, especially "As You Like It".
