About this book
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1, 7, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf is one of the most famous modernist female British writers of the 20th century. Throughout the years of being an author, she develops an experimental writing style, which is already noticeable in "Mrs Dalloway". This book was published in 1925 by the Hogarth Press, which she founded, together with her husband Leonard Sidney Woolf. "Mrs Dalloway" is based on the two short stories "Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street" and "The Prime Minister" and depicts one day in the life of the fictional protagonists Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith, who do not know each other and never actually meet during the day either. Throughout the description of this day, the presence intertwines with the past, with the usage of flashbacks to illustrate memories.
