Reading relation of modernity and space through virginia woolf's and arnold bennett's works

The conviction about the inefficacy of discussing space as an absolute, but only as a physical concept has occasioned a broader conception of space and focused great attention on space as a social product and socially produced concept. This transformation, triggered by modernity, produced the ideas that space reserves personal and social relations and has diverse meanings which come as no surprise to us now. Virginia Woolf, best known for her modernist novels, and Arnold Bennett, best known for his provincial novels, have both experienced and refiected on the process of modernity and its effect on social life. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the relation between space and modernity in these writers' novels, who refiected the infiuence of modernity on identity and physical space.
