1925109732London: Hogarth Press 1925. First edition of one of Woolf's best-known novels one of only 2000 copies. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in the original dust jacket with some expert restoration. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. "In Mrs. Dalloway Woolf breaks decisively with the fictional conventions of the realistic novel. The technique is almost orchestral introducing and then interweaving the strains of the different characters' thoughts and finally engineering through a subtle sequence of readjustments and realignments a new and delicate harmony between them at the close of the book. Mrs. Dalloway thus initiated Woolf's sequence of radical experiments with literary form embodying a striking combination of fluid sympathy and secret resistance. Through the novel's rapid transitions between apparently disconnected but secretly related stories Woolf was able to suggest the hazards of neatly pigeonholing human character according to social situation or gender" Parker 110-11. in 2005 it was included on Time's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923. It was adapted to the 1997 film starring Vanessa Redgrave in the title role. Hogarth Press hardcover books
