Abstract

The article discusses "Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a Novel," a book by Mark Hussey that explores the history and impact of Virginia Woolf's 1925 novel, "Mrs Dalloway." Hussey traces the novel's development from its inception in Woolf's diary to its cultural significance today, emphasizing its themes related to the aftermath of World War I and societal complexities. The book is structured into five sections, covering the drafting process, historical influences, reception history, and adaptations of the novel, while aiming to engage a broader audience beyond literary scholars. Hussey's work highlights the novel's enduring relevance, particularly in light of contemporary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. [Extracted from the article]
