A single day becomes the entirety of a life in Virginia Woolfâs enduring exploration of a womanâs soul and purpose. As society hostess Clarissa Dalloway prepares for a party, she also reflects hour by hour on her past, her secret burdens, her safe marriage, and other compromises that have brought her to this moment in time. But elsewhere in London, a stranger, a damaged World War I veteran, makes irreversible choices of his own - choices that will intrude on Mrs. Dallowayâs reverie before the night is over.
Employing an immersive interior monologue, Woolfâs landmark novel of intersecting lives is heralded as one of the twentieth centuryâs most innovative works.
Revised edition: Previously published as Mrs. Dalloway, this edition of Mrs. Dalloway (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
