Mrs. Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post-World War I England. As Clarissa walks through London, buying flowers, observing life, her thoughts are in the past, and she remembers the time when she was as young as her own daughter Elizabeth; her romance with Peter Walsh, now recently returned from India; and the friends of her youth."Mrs. Dalloway" is one of Woolf's best-known novels and irs celebrated stream of consciousness is one of the few genuine innovations in the history of the novel.
