Full Description
Step into the mind of Clarissa Dalloway as she navigates the complexities of life and love in post-World War I London.
On a perfect June morning, Clarissa Dalloway - fashionable, worldly, wealthy, an accomplished hostess - sets off to buy flowers for the party she will host that evening. As she goes about her day, her thoughts drift between the present and memories of the past, revealing the people who have touched her life. On the same day, Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked survivor of the Great War, commits suicide, and casual mention of his death at the party provokes in Clarissa thoughts of her own isolation and loneliness.
Bold and experimental, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway is a landmark in twentieth-century fiction that gets better with every reading. This elegant Macmillan Collector's Library edition features an afterword by editor and publisher Anna South.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of beautiful clothbound gift editions of classic titles designed to appeal to booklovers and ideal to treasure.
