Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a famous British female writer and one of the representatives of stream-of-consciousness novelists. "Mrs. Dalloway" is her masterpiece. "Mrs. Dalloway" describes the daily activities of a parliamentarian's wife. The book takes the protagonist as the core and her birthday dinner as the pivot, and prominently creates two completely different models: Bradshaw, the "great doctor" who represents the upper class society and customary forces, and Smith, who was born as a commoner. Readers can appreciate the various characteristics of typical stream-of-consciousness novels, and its artistic skill of "writing a woman's life in one day" vividly demonstrates the uniqueness of this work. It also tells people that stream-of-consciousness novels are not just innovations in artistic techniques, they can also have profound ideological and social significance.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of the days when I worked hard for my dreams. The portrayals of characters from different classes in the book are very realistic and reminded me of various people in real life. I also hate those self-righteous upper class people. Mrs. Dalloway's mornings are much like mine, full of expectations and insights about life. This book is not only an innovation in art, but also makes me think about the meaning of life.
