This paper examines in detail an epiphanic moment in Virginia
Woolf's 'A Room of One's Own' in the light of George Herbert Mead's
social interactionist theory of the mind and of cognition. The epiphanic
moment is experienced as an unexpected synthesis of multiple identities
and experiences, a conjunction whose very contingency opens up
unforeseen possibilities of creative experience. Creativity, openness,
unexpectedness, complexity—memorable moments that make the most of this
synthesis provide the experience of the subliminal or the unconscious
coming to consciousness, and they tend to return to mind and to become
milestones in personal development, and in the story of one's relation
to oneself. The attention Virginia Woolf pays to the complexity and
density of the moment is a tribute both to the present and to the
mind—if the mind is to be defined, for the sake of this argument, as the
management of emergent complexity, and the present as the locus not
just of reality, but of the mental activity that synthesizes it.
