"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.


The novel has been widely studied and admired for its innovative narrative techniques and its portrayal of the inner lives of its characters. It remains a significant work in modernist literature and continues to be read and analyzed by scholars and readers alike.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father's death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.

In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931).

She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.
