Description
Woolf’s exquisite exploration of time, memory, and individual identity set in post-war England, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Gilded Editions line.
On a sunny day in June, Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is getting ready for a party and exulting in the vibrant swell of London. As Clarissa’s preparations take her from the golden morning to the glittering evening, she muses on the choices she made as a young woman, the romances that have enriched her life, and the passage of time. In another part of London, war hero Septimus Smith is suffering from shell shock—what we would now term PTSD—and is haunted by the death of his friend. He finds himself teetering on the brink of madness, unable to leave his wounds behind.
Written in the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, this novel achieves an uncanny simulacrum of consciousness—joining past, present, and future, and recording, impression by impression, minute by minute, the feel of life itself. Mrs. Dalloway is one of the most celebrated works of the twentieth century and continues to inspire generations of readers and writers to this day.
