About the book

Celebrate the 100th birthday of a groundbreaking novel with this very special hardback based on the first edition published by the Hogarth Press.

Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.

Clarissa Dalloway is preparing to give a party. Over the course of one day, as she readies her house, Clarissa is flooded with memories and re-examines the choices she has made over the course of her life.

Virginia Woolf started writing Mrs Dalloway in 1922 as a short story. Its publication in 1925 was met with modest commercial success but the novel went on to become one of the most vital works of literature of the last century.

The text of this centenary edition of Mrs Dalloway is based on the original Hogarth Press edition, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf on 14 May 1925. The dust jacket features the original cover created by Virginia Woolf ’s sister, Vanessa Bell, for the Hogarth Press. Beneath the cover ‘deep rust’ boards printed in gilt take inspiration from the finish of the first trade edition.
