ReviewsOne of the 100 Best English-language Novels -- Time magazine "Mrs. Dalloway also contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." -- Michael Cunningham "Mrs. Dalloway is a standout work in a standout career, a hallmark of the Modernist movement, and a splendid, wrenching, subtle psychological novel, beloved in its day and beloved now." -- Lithub, "The 10 Books That Defined the 1920s" "Woolf is Modern. She feels close to us." -- Jeanette Winterson "Virginia Woolf is one of the few writers who changed life for all of us. Her combination of intellectual courage and painful emotional sensitivity created a new way of perceiving and living in the world." -- Margaret Drabble "Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of the minds and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel." -- Jorge Luis Borges

SynopsisThe annotated, authorized edition of a great literary masterpiece of the twentieth century with commentary by Women's Studies professor Bonnie Kime Scott. This brilliant novel explores the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman's life and is one of the most "moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century" (Michael Cunningham). Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of preparation for a party while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house for friends and neighbors, she is flooded with remembrances of the past--the passionate loves of her carefree youth, her practical choice of husband, and the approach and retreat of war. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old. From the introspective Clarissa, to the lover who never fully recovered from her rejection, to a war-ravaged stranger in the park, the characters and scope of Mrs. Dalloway reshape our sense of ordinary life and reshaped English literature as we know it. This authorized edition from the Virginia Woolf library features: Biographical Preface Chronology Introduction to the text Extensive notes Suggestions for further reading This annotated edition is the perfect companion to more fully understand Mrs. Dalloway, its importance in twentieth century literature, and Virginia Woolf's world., Harcourt is proud to introduce new annotated editions of three Virginia Woolf classics, ideal for the college classroom and beyond.
