Night and Day is a novel written by Virginia Woolf and first published in 1919. This novel represents an earlier stage in Woolf s writing career and is more traditional in terms of its narrative structure compared to her later, more experimental works. The story of Night and Day revolves around the lives of two central characters, Katherine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. Katherine is the granddaughter of a famous poet and is engaged to Ralph Denham, a poet and aspiring writer. Mary is a working-class woman who is involved in the suffrage movement and works as a secretary. The novel explores the contrasting lives and aspirations of these two women and their romantic entanglements. Woolf uses Night and Day to examine themes of love, marriage, women s roles in society, and the clash between traditional values and modernity. Unlike some of Woolf s later works, this novel follows a more conventional narrative style and is less experimental in its storytelling. While Night and Day may not be as well-known as some of Virginia Woolf s later and more groundbreaking works like Mrs. Dalloway or To the Lighthouse, it is still a significant contribution to early 20th-century literature and provides insight into the changing social and gender dynamics of the time.
