Virginia Woolf serves as the “ghost narrator” of About Time: Fashion and Duration. The exhibition’s sixty pairings, or minutes, are accompanied by quotations from Woolf related to the concept of time. From her first novel, The Voyage Out (1915), to her last, Between the Acts (1941), the quotations reveal Woolf’s gradual progression from a traditional view of time—a chronological sequence of events—to one centered on inner duration (durée). Below is a list of the novels represented in the exhibition with relevant time-related quotations from each.
