   This article discusses the literary relationship of the novelist and memoirist, Anne Thackeray Ritchie (1837–1919), and her step-niece, Virginia Woolf. Ritchie's influence was a highly significant one which prompted a powerful ambiguity in Woolf, who was alternately admiring and dismissively anxious to deny influence, eager to relegate her to a staunchly Victorian past while covertly sensitive to those elements in her writing linking her with Modernism. These ‘Modern’ elements, including emphasis on the subjective nature of reality and the everyday life of the mind, occur in Ritchie's fiction, affecting its style and structure. This article focuses on Night and Day, then on Woolf's more direct comments about Ritchie in diaries, letters and essays, comparing these comments and Woolf's theoretical agenda in defining Modernism and, implicitly, her own place in it. It also considers some of Ritchie's fiction, with particular attention to two novellas, one a source for To The Lighthouse. Read less
