The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
A landmark modernist novel that follows a London hostess over the course of a single day as her preparations for an evening party trigger memories, interior reflections, and shifting consciousnesses; the narrative moves fluidly among characters—contrasting social rituals and private grief, especially through the perspective of a traumatized veteran—exploring themes of time, identity, social class, and the interplay of inner life and public performance. This annotated edition pairs the original stream-of-consciousness text with explanatory notes, historical context, textual variants, and scholarly commentary that illuminate allusions, language choices, and the work’s composition and critical reception.
