Reviews
‘…fresh in-depth close readings of the novel’s opening and closing scenes bind together and hand the reader Woolf’s design for the novel, bringing to the forefront how unique, fluid, and intricate is the structure of Mrs. Dalloway.”-Prof. Diana Royer, Miami University
“…this strikes me as truly excellent work, both in terms of its critical acumen, its deft parsing of Woolf’s technique, and, even more impressive, its sheer readability.” -Prof. Robert Cohen, Middlebury College
