Features: Virginia Woolf is one of the representative writers of British stream-of-consciousness literature. Mrs. Dalloway depicts the activities of a member of parliament's wife over the course of a day. The entire book revolves around the protagonist, with her birthday dinner as the central axis, highlighting the creation of two entirely different archetypes: the "great physician" Bradshaw, who represents the upper class and the forces of habit, and Smith, who was born into a commoner family. It is a portrayal of British society at the time.
