As she readies her house for friends and neighbours, she is flooded with remembrances of the past—the passionate loves of her carefree youth, her practical choice of husband, and the approach and retreat of war. Met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the introspective Clarissa, to the lover who never fully recovered from her rejection, to a war-ravaged stranger in the park battling shell shock, the characters and scope of \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e reshape our sense of ordinary life, making it one of the most \"moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century\" (Michael Cunningham).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis authorised edition from the Virginia Woolf library features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBiographical Preface\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChronology\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the text\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExtensive notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSuggestions for further reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis annotated edition is the perfect companion to more fully understand \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e, its importance in twentieth-century literature, and the world of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643074560236,"sku":"9780156030359","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/46c9595ac91406c1de721d5e447288a3.jpg?v=1779170053","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mrs-dalloway-annotated-by-virginia-woolf-9780156030359","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
