Description
Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway is a landmark of modernist literature, capturing the ephemeral beauty and emotional depth of a single day in post-World War I London. Through the inner lives of its characters, Woolf weaves a poignant exploration of memory, identity, and the passage of time.
At its center is Clarissa Dalloway, a privileged but introspective woman preparing to host an evening party. As she moves through the city, her thoughts wander through the echoes of her youth, lost loves, and the choices that have defined her life. Parallel to her story is that of Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked war veteran whose descent into despair starkly contrasts Clarissa's poised exterior. These intertwining lives form a vivid tapestry of human connection and isolation.
This special annotated edition of Mrs Dalloway offers:
- An insightful biography of Virginia Woolf
- An annotated guide to Woolf’s broader oeuvre and literary significance
Mrs Dalloway is a timeless meditation on the complexities of the human spirit, rendered in Woolf’s lyrical and innovative prose. It remains an essential read for those seeking a deeper understanding of modernist literature and the universal questions of existence.
