On this day May 14, 1925, Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway was published by the Hogarth Press in Bloomsbury, London. The working title of Mrs. Dalloway was The Hours. The novel originated from two short stories, “Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street” and the unfinished “The Prime Minister”. In autumn 1922, Woolf began to think of the “Mrs. Dalloway” short story as the first chapter of her new novel, and she completed the manuscript in late autumn 1924.

Mrs. Dalloway is considered a landmark work in modernist literature, known for its stream-of-consciousness narrative style and exploration of characters’ inner thoughts and experience.

Mrs. Dalloway offers a unique perspective on history, particularly in its portrayal of post-World War I British society. Through its exploration of themes such as class, mental health, and the societal impacts of war, the novel provides a thought-provoking lens through which to view historical contexts. The depiction of the inner lives of women and the exploration of female identity and societal constraints can contribute to a deeper understanding of the historical experiences of women during that period. If historical fiction and the exploration of societal themes are of interest to you, Mrs. Dalloway may indeed influence your views on history.
