Acerca de este libro electrónico
Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs. Dalloway' is a groundbreaking work of modernist fiction that follows a day in the life of the eponymous character as she prepares for a party. The novel is known for its stream-of-consciousness style, allowing readers to delve deep into the thoughts and emotions of the characters. Woolf's intricate and poetic prose captures the complexities of human experience and explores themes of identity, memory, and the passage of time. Set in post-World War I London, 'Mrs. Dalloway' provides a vivid depiction of the social and political context of the time. Woolf's experimental narrative technique and innovative approach to storytelling make this novel a seminal work of 20th-century literature. Virginia Woolf, a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group, was known for her feminist perspectives and literary experimentation. Her own struggles with mental health and identity are reflected in her writing, making her a pioneer in the exploration of women's issues and mental illness in literature. These personal experiences likely influenced Woolf's creation of the complex and introspective characters in 'Mrs. Dalloway.' I highly recommend 'Mrs. Dalloway' to readers who appreciate modernist literature, experimental storytelling, and profound explorations of the human psyche. Woolf's masterpiece offers a glimpse into the inner lives of its characters and invites readers to ponder the complexities of existence and society.
Acerca del autor
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, was a central figure of the modernist literary movement of the early 20th century. With her innovative narrative techniques and lyrical prose, Woolf's work pushed the boundaries of the novel's form. Arguably her most famous book, 'Mrs. Dalloway' (1925), reflects her preoccupation with the inner lives of her characters and illustrates her 'stream of consciousness' approach, a style that mirrors the continual flow of thoughts and feelings in the mind. Woolf was deeply concerned with the human psyche, time, and the role of women in society, themes abundantly present in 'Mrs. Dalloway' and her other works, including 'To the Lighthouse' (1927) and 'Orlando' (1928). As a member of the Bloomsbury Group, which advanced feminist principles and pacifism, Woolf was also an essayist, critic, and publisher, co-founding Hogarth Press with her husband Leonard Woolf. Her essays, such as 'A Room of One's Own' (1929), have been formative texts in feminist literary criticism. Her life was marked by bouts of mental illness, and she tragically drowned herself in 1941. Woolf's contributions to literature endure, marking her as one of the most innovative and influential authors of the 20th century.
