    Isla Dewar is a prolific and successful writer, yet her novels are less known in academic circles. Borrowing the words of a journalist from The Scotsman “[she] writes unassuming, quietly readable novels. The settings are often Scottish, the subject matter the extraordinary lives of ordinary people, told with warmth and quirkiness” (“Life Lines”). Madeline Green is one such character. Born in Edinburgh, like Dewar herself, she rises to some fame at the age of 40 with relatively little effort. Although I am in no way suggesting that The Woman Who Painted Her Dreams is an autobiographical work, the novel is a heart-felt piece whose protagonist bears resemblance to the writer in many aspects. Being Edinburgh-born and a latecomer to success and fame herself as well are only two of the features that make Madeline’s character unique. A painter near her forties, Madeline Green is full of extraordinary habits and qualities that are sometimes funny, sometimes strange, and sometimes downright shocking or just plain naïve.

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing figures of Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse is Lily Briscoe. Her character is made special by the fact that she is an outsider to the Ramsay family and society in general. She is a lonely artist who not only makes observations but also raises questions throughout the novel concerning, among other things, the nature of art and representation, the impossibility of communication between people, and women’s role in society and their place as artists. Additionally, she serves as a linking figure since she is present at both occasions when the Ramsays and their guests spend some time together in the family’s seaside summer-house. Yet, it is her relationship with Mrs. Ramsay that makes her figure the most interesting. In my thesis I will focus on her character and her relationship with Mrs. Ramsay, and analyze how this relationship affects her in terms of intellectual and spiritual development; how it triggers a change from being an outsider to an “adopted” daughter of Mrs. Ramsay and finally becoming a mother figure herself to discover her fullfledged potential as an artist.
