‘She always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day’ On a June morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway moves through London preparing for a party and turning over her past. Elsewhere in the city, Septimus Smith is gripped by shell-shock and teetering on the edge of madness. Their separate days converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. It was here that Virginia Woolf brought the interior monologue to perfection, and the novel’s lyrical accessibility has made it among the most widely loved of her works. The Penguin English Library — collectable general readers’ editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.
