'Sheer magic' Eileen Atkins, Daily Mail
Discover one of the most famous and ground-breaking pieces of twentieth century literature about one day in the mind of woman as she prepares to give a party.
In this vivid portrait of one day in a woman's life, Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of a party she is to give that evening. As she readies her house she is flooded with memories and re-examines the choices she has made over the course of her life.
With a beautifully designed VINTAGE CLASSICS cover and the same text used as in its original publication, this edition of Mrs Dalloway is a perfect Mother's Day gift for Woolf lovers new and old.
'One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century' Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father's death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.
In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.
