Mrs Dalloway e-bok

“Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” With these words, Virginia Woolf initiates her narrative about Clarissa Dalloway, a woman from English middle-class society in interwar London, preparing for an evening party. Through inner monologue, the story travels back and forth in time and between characters, revealing a portrait of Clarissa’s life and the social structures of the interwar period. Mrs Dalloway is a timeless classic, read by generation after generation, and stands among the most significant works in modern literary history with its innovative narrative technique. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.
