"Mrs Dalloway contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it," says Michael Cunningham, author of the Pullitzer Prize-winning The Hours. "It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the 20th century." In this lucid, authoritative study, John Sutherland and Susanna Hislop show what makes Woolf s work so radically different from the novels of contemporaries like Arnold Bennett and E.M. Forster, and what makes this novel so distinctive in its brilliant, disturbed vision of how it feels to be alive.
