Publisher Description
Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is a seminal work of modernist literature that intricately weaves together the narratives of various characters on a single day in post-World War I London. The stream-of-consciousness writing style utilized by Woolf is both mesmerizing and challenging, immersing the reader in the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters. The novel's exploration of themes such as time, memory, mental health, and social conventions make it a profound and thought-provoking read that continues to captivate readers today. Woolf's innovative use of language and structure sets Mrs. Dalloway apart as a groundbreaking work in the literary canon of the early 20th century.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As Clarissa Dalloway prepares to host a party in 1920s London, she is unexpectedly reunited with her old friend Peter Walsh in a novel that shifts among the inner monologues of its many characters and is darkened by the terrors and hallucinations of parallel protagonist Septimus Smith. Juliet Stevenson s performance with its lyricism and lilt is perfectly matched to Woolf s text and transports the listener. Stevenson produces a delightful range of distinct voices her introspective, fragile Clarissa and stormy Peter are particularly strong.
