關於這本電子書
Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" is a finely crafted exploration of the complexities of time, memory, and identity, centered around a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for a party in post-World War I London. The novel employs a stream-of-consciousness narrative, revealing the inner thoughts and emotions of its characters in a fluid and intimate manner. This literary style not only breaks from traditional narrative forms but also situates the work within the modernist movement, reflecting the disorienting effects of a world recovering from trauma and reshaping social norms. Woolf, a key figure in the modernist literary movement, drew on her own experiences and observations of mental illness, societal expectations, and the intricacies of personal relationships in crafting "Mrs. Dalloway." Her life, marked by both privilege and struggle, deeply informed her examination of women's roles and psychological realities in a rapidly changing society, illustrating her commitment to exploring the human psyche. Recommended for readers keen on psychological depth and social commentary, "Mrs. Dalloway" invites a profound engagement with its characters' inner lives. Woolf's incisive prose and innovative experimentation with narrative will not only captivate admirers of modernist literature but also resonate with anyone seeking to understand the delicate interplay of past and present in shaping one's identity.
關於作者
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.
