Behold, Virginia Woolf's magnum opus, now adorned in a splendid clothbound edition, artfully designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. This revolutionary masterpiece of the 20th century, as hailed by Michael Cunningham, invites readers into the intricate tapestry of human consciousness.
On a single June day in 1923, we follow the graceful Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for an evening soirée, her mind awash with memories of past loves. Simultaneously, in another corner of London, we witness the harrowing struggles of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran teetering on the precipice of sanity.
With remarkable dexterity, Woolf weaves together the disparate threads of these lives, along with those of Clarissa's acquaintances, as they inexorably converge towards the dazzling crescendo of the party. Through her mastery of the interior monologue, Woolf blurs the boundaries of past, present, and future, creating a rich tapestry of human experience.
This definitive edition, meticulously edited by Stella McNichol and enriched by Elaine Showalter's insightful introduction and notes, offers readers an unparalleled journey into the depths of Woolf's literary genius.
