This paper examines cross-generational and cross-gender relationships of hospitality and gratitude in Vita Sackville-West’s All Passion Spent and Virginia Woolf’s Between the Acts. In both novels, the theme of hospitality and gratitude serves as the foundation for exploring female subjectivity, otherness, and affective bonds that arise from practices of hospitality and gratitude. Although they were published ten years apart, both works share a central figure: an elderly widowed woman who forms meaningful relationships with socially marginalized individuals through her acts of hospitality. In these narratives, female subjectivity is expressed and, at times, reshaped through (in)hospitable encounters. In return, the recipients of her hospitality acknowledge her agency and subjectivity through their expressions of gratitude. Both novels critique patriarchal structures and values by emphasizing the reciprocity of hospitality and gratitude as modes of recognizing the other. Ultimately, both Sackville-West and Woolf envision a form of hospitality rooted in feminist ethics, one that prioritizes respect for individual identity and strives for authentic reciprocity between those who are equally vulnerable under patriarchy but also capable of mutual recognition and solidarity.
