Description: This trade paperback novel is in 'very good' condition having minimum damage to the corners of the cover. MRS. DALLOWAY by VIRGINIA WOOLF The novel that inspired the hours. Harvest Reading Guide With a foreword by Maureen Howard Hers is indisputably among the most sensitive of thousands and imaginations felicitously experimenting with the English novel. --Jorge Luis Borges Mrs. Dalloway is the portrait of a single day in a woman's life. Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation -- fresh flower shopping, new dress buying, and festive room decorating. As she readies her house for friends and neighbors, memories flood her mind and she is awash in the sensations of faraway times. Clarissa blissfully relives her carefree youth and early loves, stoically witnesses the approach and retreat of war's grinding realities, carefully reexamines the solid reasons behind her practical marriage, and hesitantly looks ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old. In this revelatory and experimental novel, the past, the present, and visions of the future melt together in each and every moment. Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest work of fiction, Mrs. Dalloway is not only a detailed rendering of a vivid human life, it si the outline on paper of human consciousness. 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 Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, transformed the art of the novel with such groundbreaking works as Mrs. Dalloway and To The Lighthouse. Teh author of numerous collections of letters, journals, and short stories, she was an admired literary critic and a master of the essay form. Mrs. Dalloway was first published in 1925. Maureen Howard is the author of Natural History, Bridgeport Bus, and Facts of Life. A HARVEST BOOK HARCOURT, INC. ISBN 9780156628709
