Mrs. Dalloway (Extra Large Print Edition)

Mrs. Dalloway (Extra Large Print Edition)

Virginia Woolf's 1925 novel of feminism, existentialism, and self-realization—now updated in easy-to-read extra large 20-point font! “Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” It's one of the most famous opening lines in literature, that of Virginia Woolf's beloved masterpiece of time, memory, and the city. In the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell- shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. In this engulfing portrait of one day in a woman's life, in which she perfects the interior monologue and recapitulates the life cycle in the hours of the day, from first light to the dark of night, Woolf achieves an uncanny simulacrum of consciousness, bringing past, present, and future together, and recording, impression by impression, minute by minute, the feel of life itself. This extra large print edition from Common Classics is formatted with 20 point font, generous margins, and ample white space, perfect for seniors, low light readers, or anyone with vision impairment or a preference for larger type.
