Mrs Dalloway (Wisehouse Classics Edition)

<p><em><strong>Mrs Dalloway</strong></em> (published on 14 May 1925) is a novel by <em>Virginia Woolf</em> that details a day in the life of <em>Clarissa Dalloway</em> a fictional high-society woman in post–First World War England. It is one of <em>Woolf’s</em> best-known novels. Created from two short stories <em>“Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street”</em> and the unfinished <em>“The Prime Minister”</em> the novel addresses <em>Clarissa’s</em> preparations for a party she will host that evening. With an interior perspective the story travels forwards and back in time and in and out of the characters’ minds to construct an image of <em>Clarissa’s</em> life and of the inter-war social structure. In October 2005 <em>Mrs Dalloway</em> was included on <em>Time’s</em> list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923.</p>
