Mrs. Dalloway de Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Dalloway

Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2024
Follow English aristocrat, Clarissa Dalloway, in a single day of post-Great War life as she battles haunting recollections of the past. From the pioneer of stream-of-consciousness novels, Mrs. Dalloway is one of Virginia Woolf's most famous works. Originally published in 1925, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is a short lyrical work that entwines the stories of three characters who are struggling to cope with life after World War I. Written in her trademark stream of consciousness, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is largely plotless and examines characters in a dreamlike style. Taking place over the course of a single day, the novel is set in London and explores the perspectives of three different characters living in the city. The raw intimate feelings of Clarissa Dalloway are exposed, alongside that of her husband, Richard Dalloway, a Conservative MP, and Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran who is suffering from PTSD. Embedded with themes of existentialism, feminism, and mental illness, the book largely takes place in Clarissa's memories. Her one talent is organising events, but while she busies herself in the planning of her latest party, her mind slips into distant recollections and Woolf allows her reader to delve into the past. Read & Co. Classics has proudly republished this much-loved Virginia Woolf novel in a new edition, complete with a specially commissioned author biography. Not to be missed by collectors of Woolf's work, Mrs. Dalloway is a classic of English literature that would be the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Mrs. Dalloway chronicles a June day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway-a day that is taken up with running minor errands in preparation for a party and that is punctuated, toward the end, by the suicide of a young man she has never met. In giving an apparently ordinary day such immense resonance and significance-infusing it with the elemental conflict between death and life-Virginia Woolf triumphantly discovers her distinctive style as a novelist. Originally published in 1925, Mrs. Dalloway is Woolf's first complete rendering of what she described as the "luminous envelope" of consciousness: a dazzling display of the mind's inside as it plays over the brilliant surface and darker depths of reality.
This edition uses the text of the original British publication of Mrs. Dalloway, which includes changes Woolf made that never appeared in the first or subsequent American editions.

Notă biografică

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), one of the great twentieth-century authors, was at the center of the Bloomsbury Group and is a major figure in the history of literary feminism and modernism. She published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915, and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own (1929).

Jenny Offill (foreword) is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Weather; the nationally bestselling novel Dept. of Speculation, which was one of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of 2014; and the novel Last Things, which was a New York Times Notable Book and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction. She lives in upstate New York and teaches at Bard College and in the low residency program at Queens University of Charlotte.

Elaine Showalter (introduction, notes) is Professor of English, Emerita, at Princeton University, and the author of many works of feminist literary criticism.

Stella McNichol (editor) was the author of several critical studies on Virginia Woolf.

Recenzii

“Perhaps her masterpiece...Exquisite and superbly constructed…Required like most writers to choose between the surface and the depths as the basis of her operations, she chooses the surface and then burrows in as far as she can.” –E. M. Forster

“Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of the minds and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel.” –Jorge Luis Borges

“Virginia Woolf is one of the few writers who changed life for all of us. Her combination of intellectual courage and painful emotional sensitivity created a new way of perceiving and living in the world.” –Margaret Drabble
