LETTER WRITING AND THE EPISTOLARY FORM IN MODERNIST LITERATURE
Abstract
This article explores the use of letter writing and the epistolary form in modernist literature, focusing on its role in shaping character development, narrative structure, and the artistic process. Through the works of Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence and others, the article examines how letters serve as a tool for revealing the interior lives of characters and creating connections between them, often transcending traditional forms of communication. By highlighting the connections between letter writing and artistic creation, this article sheds light on how modernist authors use this form to explore themes of identity, alienation, and the boundaries between fiction and reality.
