Mrs Dalloway presents a groundbreaking work of twentieth-century literary fiction, exploring one day in the life of a woman as she prepares to give a party.

This vivid portrait captures Clarissa Dalloway, who is consumed with the last-minute details of the evening's event. As she readies her house, she becomes engulfed with memories and re-examines the choices she has made throughout her life.

Mrs Dalloway contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive, and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century.

Mrs Dalloway is highly praised, with Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours, remarking on its outstanding sentences and revolutionary impact.

About the Author

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.
