The author examines the novel "Jacob's Room" (1921) by Virginia Woolf, emphasising the experimental attitude that characterises fictional discourse. Exposed to recent art theories and art criticism by Roger Fry and Clive Bell, and to the visual realisations of her sister Vanessa, Woolf embraces a new strategy that lessens the prominence of the plot as a chronological pespective and represents chracters and events with at once modern and medieval. The comparison offered is between this novel and the medieval genre called "Trionfo della morte".

Abstract
The author examines the novel "Jacob's Room" (1921) by Virginia Woolf, emphasising the experimental attitude that characterises fictional discourse. Exposed to recent art theories and art criticism by Roger Fry and Clive Bell, and to the visual realisations of her sister Vanessa, Woolf embraces a new strategy that lessens the prominence of the plot as a chronological pespective and represents chracters and events with at once modern and medieval. The comparison offered is between this novel and the medieval genre called "Trionfo della morte".
