Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) has long been recognised as
one of her outstanding achievements and one of the canonical works
of modernist fiction. Each generation of readers has found
something new within its pages, which is reflected in its varying
critical reception over the last ninety years. As the novel
concerns itself with women's place in society, war and madness, it
was naturally interpreted differently in the ages of second wave
feminism, the Vietnam War and the anti-psychiatry movement. This
has, of course, created a rather daunting number of different
readings. Michael H. Whitworth contextualizes the most important
critical work and draws attention to the distinctive discourses of
critical schools, noting their endurance and interplay. Whitworth
also examines how adaptations, such as Michael Cunningham's The
Hours, can act as critical works in themselves, creating an
invaluable guide to Mrs Dalloway.
