Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front

This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks. It looks at those who fought in the trenches and those who watched from afar.

[The exhibit includes references to suicide and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which might be distressing for some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.]

While all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.
