À propos de cet e-book
In "Mrs. Dalloway," Virginia Woolf masterfully weaves a modernist narrative that captures a single day in post-World War I London. Through the stream-of-consciousness technique, Woolf delves into the intricacies of Clarissa Dalloway's life, presenting rich interior monologues that reveal her existential musings and social connections. This innovative literary style allows readers to experience the fluidity of time and memory, as past and present intertwine seamlessly, reflecting broader themes of trauma and the search for identity in a fragmented world. Virginia Woolf, a central figure in the modernist movement, often explored the roles and challenges of women in society. Her own experiences with mental illness, the impact of the war, and her advocacy for women's rights profoundly informed her writing. "Mrs. Dalloway" emerges from her personal convictions and her desire to capture the psychological depth of her characters, revealing the complexities inherent in everyday life. I highly recommend "Mrs. Dalloway" for readers eager to engage with a profound character study set against the backdrop of a changing societal landscape. Woolf's poetic prose and innovative narrative techniques ensure that this novel not only entertains but also provokes deep reflection on the nature of consciousness and the passage of time.
À propos de l'auteur
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, stands as a central figure in modernist literature. Her literary career is marked by an experimental approach to narrative structure and a deep psychological insight into her characters. Woolf's legacy is often associated with her adept use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, which she employed to explore the inner lives of her characters and the social issues of her time. Her 1925 novel 'Mrs. Dalloway' is a quintessential example of this technique, offering a vivid portrait of Clarissa Dalloway, a high-society woman in post-World War I England, as she prepares for a party. This novel, like much of Woolf's work, interrogates themes of mental illness, feminism, and the passage of time. Other notable works by Woolf include 'To the Lighthouse' (1927) and 'Orlando' (1928), which further broadcast her influence on both feminist literature and the modernist canon. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, which helped shape her intellectual milieu. Tragically, Woolf's life was marred by mental illness, and she died by suicide on March 28, 1941. Her literature, however, continues to resonate, making her one of the most studied and celebrated authors of the 20th century.
