A Modernist 20th Century Literature Classic Set in Post-War London
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Virginia Woolf was an English novelist, essayist, short story writer, publisher, critic and member of the Bloomsbury group, as well as being regarded as both a hugely significant modernist and feminist figure. Her most famous works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and A Room of One’s Own.
Oh if she could have had her life over again! She thought.
High-society hostess Clarissa Dalloway is throwing a party. On the surface she is vivacious and sociable, yet her inner monologue reveals glimpses of a different reality: a woman isolated in love and dissatisfied with life. Clarissa’s life is contrasted with that of an intended but ill-fated party guest, Septimus Warren Smith, for whom post-war life is a struggle. Both characters express a shared longing to find love and meaning – just as relevant a human experience when the novel was published in 1925 as it remains today.
Considered one of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway weaves in and out of the central characters’ thoughts and lives and back and forth in time in a lyrical stream of consciousness. It remains a testament to Woolf’s unique and timeless talent.
