Written by leading academics, Connell Guides are clear, concise and beautifully designed to help students understand, and enjoy, great works of literature. They are perfect for coursework, revision and exam preparation. Connell Guides are also great reads themselves scholarly, yet approachable and entertaining."Mrs Dalloway contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it," says Michael Cunningham, author of the Pullitzer Prize-winning The Hours. "It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the 20th century." In this lucid, authoritative study, John Sutherland and Susanna Hislop show what makes Woolf s work so radically different from the novels of contemporaries like Arnold Bennett and E.M. Forster, and what makes this novel so distinctive in its brilliant, disturbed vision of how it feels to be alive.
