Abstract

Virginia Woolf’s novels focus on the truth of life and present the real form of life, and she has a deep sympathy towards human beings and a strong sense of social responsibility. Her works belong to ecological writing. To explore her novel in the light of eco-criticism, this paper aims at analyzing her harmonious ecological concept as anti-anthropocentrism and idea of equality for all creatures, which will promote the scope of eco-criticism studies and provide a new approach to interpret her works.
