Mrs Dalloway

Edición de la obra Mrs. Dalloway

"This Norton Critical Edition of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is based on the first American edition from 1925. The novel follows a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a married, high society woman in London as she prepares to host a party. Set in the aftermath of World War I, the novel explores the world's social and psychological consequences, juxtaposing Dalloway's ordinary day against that of Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked war veteran. The "Contexts" in this Critical Edition provide readers with a varied selection of Woolf's writings related to the novel's composition, as well as literary and historical materials by other writers that influenced Woolf. "Criticism" includes contemporaneous reviews from the 1920s, as well as more recent critical essays on themes including ethics, feminism, and modernism. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"--
