The story of a single day in London after the First World War, it travels backward and forward in time and consciousness, venturing beyond the ordinary world into epic, mythic, and mystical modes. The novel is a work of extraordinary richness, as much for its interwoven webs of meaning as for its moral and psychological vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdward Mendelson explores the novel's deepest questions, focusing on the core themes of medicine, empire, and love. He traces how Virginia Woolf thought and wrote, considering the complexities and resonances of her works. Mendelson casts \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e as an extended protest against authorities that wield power over others and a defense of the equality of inner lives. He also examines the place of the book in literary history going back to Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare as well as its influence on later writers from Erich Auerbach through Zadie Smith. Both incisive and passionate, this book is at once a wide-ranging critical study of Virginia Woolf's writing and a love letter to a great novel.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Mendelson is the Lionel Trilling Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University.
