Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf - 9780199536009

'Fear no more the heat of the sun.' Mrs Dalloway Virginia Woolf's fourth novel offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway the wife of a Conservative member of parliament is preparing to give an evening party while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing except perhaps London to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young poor and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this from its publication in 1925 one of her most popular novels.
