"Mrs. Dalloway" is considered a central work in Virginia Woolf's
oeuvre and in the modernist canon. It not only addresses historical
and cultural issues such as war, colonialism, class, politics,
marriage, sexuality, and psychology but also reimagines the novel
form. Moreover, "Mrs. Dalloway" continues to grow in its influence
and visibility, inspiring adaptations in film, theater, print, and
other media.
Despite "Mrs. Dalloway"'s continued popularity, many students
today find the prose daunting and a barrier to their appreciation
and comprehension of the novel. This volume seeks to give
instructors a variety of strategies for making Woolf's work
compelling and accessible to students while addressing the diverse
ways it has been interpreted. Part 1, "Materials," reviews editions
of "Mrs. Dalloway" as well as critical and historical resources
related to the novel. Part 2, "Approaches," explores the task of
contextualizing this key modernist text in the classroom. Some
contributors situate "Mrs. Dalloway" in its historical time and
place, namely, London in the period between the two world wars.
Others discuss the novel's narrative form or interpret it using
perspectives from cultural studies, feminism, or queer theory.
Still others address the novel's relation to poems, films, and
Victorian novels. Finally, a group of essays discusses the
challenges and rewards of teaching the novel in settings both
traditional and nontraditional, from a college classroom to a
prison.
