Summary
Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, now in a beautiful clothbound edition.
On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a party and remembering her past. Elsewhere in London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Here, Virginia Woolf perfected the interior monologue, and the novel’s lyricism and accessibility have made it one of her most popular works.
