‘Mrs. Dalloway’ is a novel written by Virginia Woolf and published in 1925. It’s one of Woolf’s most famous works and is considered a landmark in the stream-of-consciousness literary technique.
The novel takes place over the course of a single day in June 1923, primarily in London, and follows the thoughts and experiences of Clarissa Dalloway, a high-society woman preparing for a party she’s hosting that evening. Through Clarissa’s thoughts and interactions with other characters, the novel explores themes such as the passage of time, the nature of memory, the constraints of societal expectations, and the impact of World War I on individuals and society.
One of the distinctive features of ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ is its use of stream-of-consciousness narration, which allows readers to delve into the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters as they navigate their lives and relationships. Woolf’s prose style is often praised for its poetic language and its ability to capture the complexities of human consciousness.
