Mrs. Dalloway is the 1925 novel by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a landmark of literary modernism. Following Clarissa Dalloway through a single June day in London as she prepares for a party, while the shell-shocked veteran Septimus Smith moves toward tragedy, Woolf weaves consciousness, memory, and time into a continuous inner flow. One of the defining English novels of the twentieth century, it shows the stream-of-consciousness technique at its height. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
