Description
In this course, we will explore Virginia Woolf’s novel “Mrs Dalloway” as we approach its centennial in 2025. We will closely read selected passages from the novel to better understand and appreciate how Woolf uses ‘free indirect style’ to construct a complex narrative that still reads as new and interesting today. For those interested, we will also examine how Michael Cunningham’s novel “The Hours” and its film adaptation reflect and reinterpret Woolf’s writing, offering a modern perspective on her enduring influence
