The end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century witnessed considerable changes in the "traditional" nuclear family, supposedly the mainstay of the Victorian establishment, but increasingly criticised and questioned. This study examines four novels written in the 1920s and centred around fragmenting families at the end of the Victorian period. A brief introduction into the historical and political context of John Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga, Virginia Woolf’s novels To the Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway, and James Joyce’s Ulysses is followed by sections discussing marriage, parenthood and extra-familial relations. Additional aspects analysed in this context include the role of the androgynous artist figure, and narrative and stylistic elements as reflections of the different family structures and ideologies in these four novels.
