Clarissa Dalloway, moglie di un deputato conservatore, prepara la sua festa per la sera, Septimus Warren Smith, sopravvissuto alla "grande guerra", nel frattempo passeggia con la moglie Rexia a Regent's Park in preda ai suoi deliri.

Questo romanzo è stato ispirato alla Woolf dalla sua grande amica e amante Vita Sackwille-West. Il romanzo è una grande metafora elisabettiana-ariostesca sulle metamorfosi dell'Inghilterra. Si parla di un androgino, Orlando, ma nella realtà si parla di Vita Sackwille-West che amava spesso vestirsi da uomo. Introduzione di Viola Papetti.

L'andro...
