Explanation and Analysis:

Woolf uses a hyper-stylized narrative voice in To the Lighthouse, capitalizing on the freedom of expression and structure that was all the rage during the literary modernist movement. The narrative is delivered in lyrical, sweeping sentences that explore the characters' thoughts and dialogue in long streams-of-consciousness.
