It is a simple novel, on the one hand, in which its protagonist goes about London preparing for the party she will hold in the evening. It is also a complex novel, one that interweaves Mrs. Dalloway's story with those of a shell-shocked veteran, of her old lover, of her unhappy teenage daughter. Together, they form a haunting, mesmerising picture of individual loneliness and post-World War I British society. As Virginia Woolf wrote of it: \"I want to give life \u0026amp; death, sanity \u0026amp; insanity; I want to criticise the social system, \u0026amp; to show it at work, at its most intense.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition of \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e, published to mark the centennial of its original appearance, will be followed by new editions of \u003ci\u003eTo the Lighthouse\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/i\u003e in celebration of their respective centenaries.
