1 2009 Woolf, Virginia. Mrs. Dalloway. (London : Hogarth Press, 1925).
Liang Yuanyuan : Virginia Woolf has been internationally acclaimed as a modernist who audaciously pushed the frontier of narrative forms with her ingenious innovation and her lyrical rendering of commonplace details. Mrs. Dalloway manifests the novelist's virtuosities in the dissolution of traditional plot, the attention to the minutiae of the mind, and more conspicuously, the subtle manipulation of time. Renouncing the sequential, linear time as inadequate for tracing the fluidity of mental lives, Woolf immerses the reader in the flux of the protagonist's psychological time. She reinforces the motif of 'time' by juxtaposing the oppressive indications of clock time with the extended moments of intensity. This first successful novel in her innovative endeavors, demonstrates the delicacy and strength of Woolf's style, her power to express the incommunicable thought and to illuminate common experience and her modernistic preoccupation with, and sublte manipulation of 'time'.
