Mrs Dalloway cover


Part of the Chiltern Classics range

As Clarissa Dalloway prepares to host a party, the appearance of a former suitor stirs thoughts about
choices she made long ago. Elsewhere in London, the past weighs heavily on Septimus Warren Smith, a man tormented by his wartime experience. Breaking with traditional narrative conventions, Woolf explores the inner lives of her characters in this landmark of modernist fiction.

"Perhaps her masterpiece...Exquisite and superbly constructed...Required like most writers to choose between the surface and the depths as the basis of her operations, she chooses the surface and then burrows in as far as she can." -E. M. Forster "Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of the minds and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel." -Jorge Luis Borges "Clarissa [Dalloway] is...conceived so brilliantly, dimensioned so thoroughly and documented so absolutely that her type, in the words of Constantin Stanislavsky, might be said to have been done 'inviolably and for all time.'" -The New York Times
