> a body of work that sets up a sort of boundary

Sorry to skip all of the other lovely things you've written about before this, but this is something that I've been thinking about quite a bit lately, wondering whereabouts I fit into the tradition of boundary-setting—and this is where I find Woolf particularly helpful for me. I'm not yet well-read or experienced enough, but it seems to me that the boundary toward which Woolf was working (if not actually demarcated—though, like /u/LiterallyAnscombe, I think there's plenty of material to further explore) is more discrete, more fragmented across her works than, say, the boundary demarcated by the Wake. I follow in her mostly being preoccupied with Time, but where her primary questions often seemed to be Who or Whom, mine is almost exclusively Where. Elizabeth Bishop, in her "Dimensions for a Novel" essay, has offered me the best ideas where to start, but I'm really beginning to think that setting the boundary of completely evading Time, chronology, temporality in the Novel is entirely beyond my capability. And to some extent, Joyce already does this in the Wake, though I'd like to engage a much more readable style, something more akin to my Guiding Light, The Waves. My "canonical strangeness" (if it's ever to be developed to full maturity) will most likely be quiet and accumulative—perhaps I'll be forgotten even as I'm being read, and somehow that seems appropriate. What I find absolutely fascinating, though, to take a step back to something you mention in an earlier comment I meant to address, I'm not sure if it's our Ultimate Allegiances falling separately to Joyce and Woolf, but I find it interesting that we are essentially working in opposite directions: you would like to concretize that which is air, and I would like to evaporate that which is concrete.

To address the thread you had going over at /r/AskLiteraryStudies, though, The Waves and Between the Acts are easily the two most important works or projects of the last third of Woolf's career. I would also highly, highly suggest trying to find her <em>Writer's Diary</em>. It's not as good as the five-volume set, but it's much easier to find and provides a very respectable introduction to or summary of the complete diaries.
