Abstract
In her novel "Orlando: a Biography" published in 1927, virginia woolf evokes 'the extraordinary discrepancy between time on the clock and time in the mind' (Orlando p.91) and the opposition she expresses between this two conceptions of time is to be found, more or less obviously, in most of her works. In this study, we will analyse the characteristics and meanings of each of these 'times', as well as the reasons why woolf chose to use both of them in her novels. This argument will be based on two of her main works: Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927) because, although written at the same period, they both exemplify really different conceptions of time.
