University of Adelaide Library

The University of Adelaide Library is credited in the digital edition of To the Lighthouse as the institution associated with eBooks@Adelaide. Its role belongs to the book’s publication history, not its fictional world: it provides the institutional context in which this edition is presented, while the novel itself follows the Ramsay family and their lives by the sea.

Identification and Publication Context

The front matter identifies eBooks@Adelaide and the University of Adelaide Library in adjacent credits, then gives the university’s location as South Australia 5005. Together, these details locate the digital edition within the university’s publishing and library context rather than within the novel’s setting.

Relationship to the Edition

The library’s appearance is paratextual. It is named as part of the edition’s institutional credit, while the novel’s narrative concerns the Ramsay family, their summer house, and the lighthouse. The distinction matters: the library is relevant to how this edition is presented and identified, but the supplied text does not attribute any fictional action or editorial intervention to it.

Limits of the Available Information

The edition’s front matter also points readers to a downloadable MARC21 catalogue record. However, the available information gives no further account of the library’s specific production, digitization, or distribution processes. Its documented connection here is therefore precise but limited: it is credited alongside eBooks@Adelaide as the institutional home associated with the digital text.
