- Book Synopsis
- 'One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century.' - Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours. The elegant Clarissa Dalloway is putting the finishing touches on her house as she prepares to host a high-society party in the evening. Meanwhile, Septimus Smith struggles with the after-effects of shell-shock. At first glance, the two could not appear to be any more different - Dalloway is a middle-aged woman at home in the high-flying lifestyle of the prosperous upper classes, while Smith is poor, young and traumatised. The two narratives interweave to tell a haunting tale of life in interwar London. Lyrical, revolutionary, and extraordinarily insightful, this pivotal work showed what was possible in the modern novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.
- About The Author
- Virginia Woolf, who was to become a major figure in the Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals, was born into an intellectual family in 1882. Her mother died when she was 13 and the death of her half-sister Stella two years later led to her first nervous breakdown. Woolf suffered from fragile mental health all her life and on 28 March 1941, after filling the pockets of her overcoat with stones, she walked into the River Ouse near her home and drowned herself.
