Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), one of the great twentieth-century authors, was at the center of the Bloomsbury Group and is a major figure in the history of literary feminism and modernism. She published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915, and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own (1929).
“Woolf’s classic feels even more relevant after a year of lockdown
has rendered many of us so frantically introspective. . . . This
new Penguin Classics edition is superb.” ―Ron Charles, The
Washington Post Book Club
“A revelation . . . A remarkably expansive and an irreducibly
strange book. Nothing you might read in a plot summary prepares you
for the multitudes it contains.” ―Jenny Offill, from the
Foreword
“One of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth
century.” ―Michael Cunningham
"At a time when our most ordinary acts―shopping, taking a walk―have
come to seem momentous, a matter of life or death, Clarissa’s
vision of everyday shopping as a high-stakes adventure resonates in
a peculiar way. We are all Mrs. Dalloway now." ―The New Yorker
