  • I read this for a Modern Lit course in College. It was an OK read. Not the best book, a little drab and old fashioned. It was interesting... but don't expect too much magic.

With an Introduction and Notes by Merry M. Pawlowski,Professor and Chair, Department of English, California State University,BakersfieldVirginia Woolf's singular technique in Mrs Dalloway heralds a break with the traditional novel form and reflects a genuine humanity and a concern with the experiences that both enrich and stultify existence. Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party. Her thoughts and sensations on that one day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa's life is touched by tragedy as the events in her day run parallel to those of Septimus Warren Smith, whose madness escalates as his life draws toward inevitable suicide.
