Mrs Dalloway

In the novel “Mrs Dalloway” (1925), enthusiastically received by readers and critics, Virginia Woolf describes just one summer day in the life of a successful society lady, Mrs. Dalloway. Meeting an old acquaintance, Peter Walsh—her first love—opens the door to a world of memories, complex feelings, secret thoughts, inner torments, dreams, and nightmares. Virginia Woolf wrote about this novel: “I began this book hoping I could express my attitude to creativity in it. You must write from the deepest depths of feeling—Dostoevsky teaches that.” And the writer succeeded in that task.
