Clarisse Dalloway, Londres, Westminster, Big Ben, dès le matin, à la mi-juin, fin de la guerre. Et la journée commence. Chaque petit fait réveille des souvenirs en elle, avec tout le fumet de l'aristocratie anglaise, dans un vagabondage léger de l'esprit. Extrait: Mrs Dalloway dit qu’elle irait acheter les fleurs elle-même. Lucy avait de l’ouvrage par-dessus la tête. On enlèverait les portes de leurs gonds ; les hommes de Rumpelmayer allaient venir. « Quel matin frais ! pensait Clarissa Dalloway. On dirait qu’on l’a commandé pour des enfants sur une plage. » Comme on se grise ! comme on plonge ! C’était ainsi jadis à Bourton, lorsque, avec un petit grincement des gonds qu’il lui

Review "Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of Modernism in England, and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realizaztion of experimental acheivements that has completely broken with tradition."-- The New York Times
About the Author Virginia Woolf (Adeline Virginia Alexandra Stephen 25 janvier 1882 - 28 mars 1941) est une femme de lettres anglaise, l'une des principales autrices modernistes du XXe siècle, et une féministe. Pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, elle fut une figure marquante de la société littéraire londonienne et un membre central du Bloomsbury Group, qui réunissait des écrivains, artistes et philosophes anglais. Les romans Mrs. Dalloway (1925), La Promenade au phare (1927) et Orlando (1928), ainsi que l'essai Une chambre à soi (1929) demeurent parmi ses écrits les plus célèbres. Woolf souffrait d'importants troubles mentaux et présentait tous les signes de ce qu'on nomme aujourd'hui « trouble bipolaire » ; en 1941, à l'âge de 59 ans, elle se suicida par noyade dans la River Ouse, près de Monk's House, dans le village de Rodmell, où elle vivait avec son mari Leonard Woolf. Biographie : Virginia Woolf est née à Londres de Sir Leslie Stephen et Julia Stephen Duckworth (dite aussi Julia Prinsep - née Julia Jackson : 1846–1895), elle fut éduquée par ses parents à leur domicile du 22 Hyde Park Gate, Kensington dans une ambiance littéraire de la haute société. Les parents de Virginia étaient tous deux veufs lorsqu’ils se marièrent : ainsi, leur maison regroupait les enfants de trois mariages différents. Les enfants de Julia et de son premier époux Herbert Duckworth : George Duckworth (1868–1934) ; Stella Duckworth (1869–1897) ; et Gerald Duckworth (1870–1937). La fille de Leslie et de sa première épouse Minny Thackeray, Laura Makepeace Stephen, qui fut diagnostiquée handicapée mentale et vécut avec eux avant d’être placée dans un asile en 1891 jusqu’à la fin de ses jours. Enfin, les enfants de Leslie et Julia : Vanessa (1879–1961) ; Thoby (1880–1906) ; Virginia et Adrian (1883–1948). Sir Leslie Stephen, écrivain, éditeur et alpiniste, était veuf de la fille aînée du romancier William Makepeace Thackeray. Julia Stephen était, quant à elle, descendante d’une famille (les sœurs Pattle) déjà connue pour son implication dans la vie intellectuelle de la société victorienne, comme le salon tenu au milieu du XIXe siècle par sa tante Sarah Prinsep (mère du peintre préraphaélite Val Princep).

The Mystery of Human Personality By A Customer Although the time covered in this complex novel is only one day, Virginia Woolf, through her genius, manages to cover a lifetime unraveling and exposing the mysteries of the human personality.The central character of the novel is the delicate Clarissa Dalloway, a disciplined English gentlewoman who provides the perfect contrast to another of the book's characters, Septimus Warren Smith, an ex-soldier whose world is disintegrating into chaos. Although Clarissa and Septimus never meet, it is through the interweaving of each one's story into a gossamer whole that Woolf works her genius.The book is set on a June day in 1923, as Clarissa prepares for a party that evening. Unfolding events trigger memories and recollections of her past, and Woolf offers these bits and pieces to the reader who must then construct the psychological and emotional makeup of Clarissa Dalloway in his own mind. We also learn much about Clarissa through the thoughts of other characters, such as her one-time lover, Peter Walsh, her friend, Sally Seton, her husband, Richard and her daughter Elizabeth.It is Septimus Warren Smith, however, driven to the brink of insanity by the war, an insanity that even his wife's tender ministrations cannot cure, who acts as Clarissa's societal antithesis and serves to divide her world into the "then" and the "now."In this extremely complex and character-driven novel, Woolf offers her readers a challenge. The novel is not separated into chapters; almost all of the action occurs in the thoughts and reminiscences of the characters and the reader must piece together the story from the random bits and pieces of information each character provides. The complexity of the characters may add to the frustration because Woolf makes it difficult for the reader to receive any single dominant impression of any one of them. This, however, forms the essence of the novel and displays the genius of Woolf: It is impossible to describe any human being in a simple phrase or collection of adjectives. We are many things to many people, all of them somewhat different, none of them the same, just as we are many things to ourselves.Throughout the book, the reader is constantly called upon to compare and contrast Peter Walsh and Richard Dalloway, the two significant love interests in Clarissa Dalloway's life. Compared to Peter, an adventurer, Richard Dalloway appears more than a bit reserved and dour. But, readers must constantly question this view of Richard as his personality seems to alter with his altering relationships.Intimacy, particularly emotional intimacy, and the preservation of one's uniqueness are two of Woolf's continuing themes. We find that Clarissa married Richard, in part, to preserve her sense of self; Peter would have demanded far more of her than she was, perhaps, willing to give. Here, Clarissa and Septimus, so outwardly different, would find they share much in common. While Clarissa feels threatened by her daughter's tenacious tutor, Miss Kilman, as well as by Peter, Septimus feels threatened by his doctor. Each feels the others are asking too much. Septimus and Clarissa even agree on the subject of death: "There is no death," Septimus declares, while Clarissa, the atheist, secretly believes that bits and pieces of her will remain intact forever.Although some characters in this book may, at first, appear to be one-dimensional, we soon learn that all are extraordinarily complex. There is Sally, impulsive yet considerate; Richard, bashful yet timid; Peter inhibited yet adventurous; Septimus, insane yet credible. And Clarissa? She is all of these things and more.It is, however, Woolf's torrential stream-of-consciousness prose that makes this novel a true masterpiece. Even those who find the plot of little interest will be drawn in by the exquisiteness of Woolf's language. This is a complex, character study in the fullest sense of the word, one with no easy answers, for Woolf, in the end seems to be telling us that perhaps, at our essence, we are all unknowable, even to ourselves.

Poetic lyricism in Virginia Woolf By mcl Any young aspiring writer should compare Woolf's early work, such as Night and Day to something like Mrs. Dalloway. The transformation in narrative strength is incredible. I think Woolf found her voice when she gave up on traditional technique and focused on vivid imagery, poetic language, and really getting into the souuls of her characters.Her views on love in this boook are heartbreaking. Love serves as mere convenience, romance is just an illusion. 9 times out of 10 people choose safety. Pretty cynical viewpoint, but she lived during the days of a crumbling Empire and wrote about it beautifully. She really achieved her greatest literary power later on in life.Also, this book studies insanity and the doctors who are impotent to help. I'm sure woolf would have the same view in today's heavily medicated society.This book is not for the faint of heart. She does not hide characters emotions, but tends to dwelon their weaknesses. The final party scene is brilliant. If you like this book, read To The Lighthouse, which is equally brilliant.

Tough, but worth the effort By Peggy Vincent It's not really fair to judge this book or its author by today's standards, but damn, this is a hard read. I'd read it about 20 years ago and recall struggling with the endless sentences and the rambling explorations of Mrs. Dalloway's interior thoughts, her every little fleeting idea, and the tiny events of the day in her life which this book chronicles.Then of course when The Hours was published, I rummaged around in the bookshelf, found it, and read it again.And then the movie came out with that wonderful cast of characters, and, well, I had to read it a third time. And I'll say this: it takes more than a single reading to harvest all the gems from this dense prose. Mrs. Dalloway grew on me with the passage of time and with three careful readings. The studied explorations into past and present, men and women, women and other women, society and the family, love and regret...it's a lot to take on in what is really a pretty small book - and only someone of Woolf's talents and brilliance could have made so much of so little.Highly recommended, but I'm sorry - you'll probably have to read it more than once to extract every single little diamond chip.
