As Mrs Dalloway works on the preparations for a dinner party, her thoughts throughout the day wander from memories of the past to interrogations about the present and lead her to assess the choices she has made in life and love. Her monologue interweaves with the account of the distress, on that same day, of the shell-shocked veteran Septimus Warren Smith, whose trauma and hallucinations end in tragedy, as the links between the two characters unfold. One of Virginia Woolf's most famous novels, Mrs Dalloway is a triumph of experimentation, a cornerstone of Modernism and a subtle examination of love, freedom, mental ... |

Based on lectures given at Cambridge colleges and first published by the Hogarth Press in 1929, A Room of One's Own is an extended essay about the predicament of female writers and a stirring call for autonomy and recognition. As well as settling scores with reactionary critics and laying the foundations of a history of women's literature, the text is also a triumph of imagination, with a celebrated passage envisaging the fate of a fictional sister of Shakespeare's. A seminal, widely studied feminist polemic that touches on both literature and politics, A Room of One's Own is essential reading for those ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... "About here, she thought, dabbling her fingers in the water, a ship had sunk.""To the Lighthouse", considered by many to be Virginia Woolf 's finest novel, is a remarkably original work, showing the thoughts and actions of the members of a family and their guests on two separate occasions, ten years apart. The setting is Mr and Mrs Ramsay's house on a Scottish island, where they traditionally take their summer holidays, overlooking a bay with a lighthouse. An experimental work that pushes the limits of what we know about the ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic license of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular 'room of one's own', prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theaters, A Room of One's Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an ... |

Всепризнат шедьовър, роман образец на метода поток на съзнанието, Мисис Далауей (1925) е книгата, която открива пътя на Вирджиния Улф (1882 - 1941) като един от най-големите писатели модернисти на XX век. Стремежът и в крайна сметка постижението на Улф е проникването, по думите на Е. М. Форстър, "навътре в душата" на персонажите, чиито негласно изказани мисли представят по прекрасен начин техния вътрешен свят, често много по-сложен, отколкото бихме могли да предположим, съдейки по външните им изяви."Същинско откровение... Забележително пространна, небивала творба благодарение на множествата, които съдържа. ... |

На работната маса на самоубилата се писателка остава ръкописът на последния й роман "Между действията". Съпругът й няма колебания, че творбата непременно трябва да излезе, защото чрез нея Вирджиния Улф изпраща важно послание. Най-характерната черта на романа е впечатляващата му всеобхватност. Действието се развива в един-единствен ден в малко селище до Лондон, но чрез множеството сценки, включени в колективното празненство, се разкрива богатството на английската литературна традиция. В книгата много се залага на активното съдействие и съпричастие на публиката, а също и на читателя, изправен пред голямо ... |
