"MRS DALLOWAY(VIRGINIA WOOLF)"(Witer Virginia Woolf):Perhaps Woolf's greatest achievement in Mrs Dalloway is the extraordinary sense of time in the novel. Chiming clocks mark the passing of the actual day while the past impinges constantly on the thoughts of the protagonists so that in a very few pages an entire lifetime is spanned.

Virginia Woolf's singular technique in Mrs Dalloway heralds a break with the traditional novel form and reflects a genuine humanity and a concern with the experiences that both enrich and stultify existence.Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party.

Her thoughts and sensations on that one day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa's life is touched by tragedy as the events in her day run parallel to those in the day of Septimus Warren Smith.

The delicate artistry and lyrical prose of Woolf's fourth novel establish her as a writer of profound talent.
