About the Book:
Virginia Woolf's singular technique in Mrs Dalloway heralds a break with the traditional novel form, reflecting a genuine humanity and a concern with the experiences that both enrich and stultify existence. The novel follows society hostess Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for a party, interweaving her thoughts and sensations with the interior monologues of others whose lives are connected to hers. The narrative runs parallel to the experiences of Septimus Warren Smith, whose escalating madness and eventual suicide cast a poignant shadow over Clarissa's day.
