![]() The Hours (the original working title Woolf had for Mrs Dalloway) depicts one day in the life of these women, with themes in common with Woolf’s novel, such as the power of the trivial and of quotidian experiences, memory and regret.It does have elements of stream of consciousness but it is much more formally traditional than Mrs Dalloway. Her friend and former lover who calls her Mrs Dalloway is dying from a disease and, like Septimus in the original novel (and Woolf in real life), hears voices singing in Greek. In the late 1990s, Clarissa Vaughan’s day mirrors Dalloway’s in Woolf’s novel, but modernised to fit the 20 th century and give Vaughan her own unique character. Laura Brown, an unhappy housewife, reads it in 1949. ![]() In the book, Virgnia Woolf writes Mrs Dalloway in 1923. The book is a/n(?) homage, or reworking, of Mrs Dalloway. Meet, or revisit, The Hours by Michael Cunningham. I did promise a Dalloway week so I thought I’d expand the Dalloway horizon today. I hope you had a good Dalloway Day yesterday and on Monday. ![]()
