HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of
high-society - vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface,
yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war
Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the
surface of all of Woolf's characters in Mrs Dalloway. Centred
around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding
a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other
central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet
never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that
haunts each person. One of Virginia Woolf's most accomplished
novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most
revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes
that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong
person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an
intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying
existence.
