Virginia Woolf`s singular technique in `Mrs. Dalloway` heralds a break with the traditional novel form and reflects a genuine humanity and a concern with the experiences that both enrich and stultify existence. Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party. Her thoughts and sensations on that one day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa`s life is touched by tragedy as the events in her day run parallel to those in the day of Septimus Warren Smith. The delicate artistry and lyrical prose of Woolf`s fourth novel have established her as a writer of profound talent.
