Critics Review
Mrs Dalloway 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 centuryA beautiful piece of writing * Guardian *I think To The Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway are sheer magic * Daily Express *Virginia Woolf was one of the great innovators of that decade of literary Modernism, the 1920s. Novels such as Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse showed how experimental writing could reshape our sense of ordinary life. Taking unremarkable materials - preparations for a genteel party, a day on a bourgeois family holiday - they trace the flow of associations and ideas that we call “consciousness”. * Guardian *A beautiful ode to dignity, memory and survival * Sunday Times *Mrs Dalloway captures both the pulse of the city and the inner rhythms of a woman’s life, turning everyday details into profound insight * London Standard *
