Classic & Older Gothic

Mrs Dalloway

by Virginia Woolf

A single June day in post-WWI London unfolds through the consciousness of Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for her party, her thoughts drifting between present and past. Woolf's stream-of-consciousness technique captures the texture of inner life with unprecedented intimacy and precision. The novel interweaves multiple perspectives to create a portrait of a society and psyche still reeling from war's trauma.
