"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself." You read the first sentence, and you're in. In the midst of things; in medias res, a classic, and classical, element of literature. Reading Mrs. Dalloway is a deep and broad look into Virginia Woolf's classic novel of poetic consciousness, revealing allusions, prompting musings, deepening thought, and exploring hidden treasures as we accompany Clarissa Dalloway during her famous Hours. This book is a non-academic, non-critical essay, and is intended to help illuminate and enliven the text for readers who love Virginia Woolf and Clarissa Dalloway, and want to spend some time in that fanciful, brilliant, intense world of post-Great War London.
