Mrs. Dalloway (Heathen Edition)

The narrative intricately explores the inner lives of its characters, particularly Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Smith, against the backdrop of post-First World War London. Through a masterful use of stream of consciousness and nonlinear storytelling, Woolf captures the complexities of time and memory, revealing the social dynamics and personal struggles of her characters. The story unfolds over a single day in June 1923, highlighting the contrast between Clarissa's social preparations and Septimus's disconnection from reality, creating a profound commentary on mental health and societal expectations.
