22 March 1834 Well, I say! Upon perusal of a set of poems by the esteemed Mina Loy, I find myself absolutely shocked. When they mentioned that this young lady was progressive, I thought she would just have supported reform! This shocking woman mentioned female unmentionables and advocated for the . Her demands were absolutely… View More

How nice of you to think of me in this time! I was once a man of little words, always reflecting on the inside, but somehow these texts have inspired me! Let us meet for tea, dear neighbor, and have a chat over such texts. . . TTyl Elinor xoxo

Will, I must say that I have to agree with you with your many points.  I found myself a little disappointed with how many of the characters had treated the death of Septimus, especially Clarissa Dalloway… She was appalled that such a thing like death could be spoken at her party, yet she thought of… View More

Rosamond, I am sorry to break this to you dear, but throwing parties and entertaining guests is not the duty of a wife.  Yes, she is a very lovely woman, I must agree, but clearly not the perfect wife.  She thought of another man the entirety of the day… and her poor husband does not… View More

Clarissa’s dear friend Sally showed to her party, and you would think that Clarissa would be more excited to see her friend Sally, Sally that she spends much of her time thinking of and reminiscing about.  The entire day she was thinking of Sally!  And Peter of course, and Bourton.  You would think she would… View More

I did indeed expect a appreciation for Virginia Woolf’s detailed use of symbolism from you, Mr. Holmes. And, I am drawn by my name; Woolf understands and has felt the inspiration of something I attempt to provide to those in need. You are most logical, and so are most likely enamored of the beautifully wrought… View More

My dear Celia, I quite agree with you on “The Fox” having a presence in Mrs. Dalloway. However, Septimus is more like Mr. Casaubon. Both were trying to find something or prove something, that was never quite finished before they unfortunately passed.

Why how interesting it is on how Mrs. Dalloway ended.  And yes I still do believe that the novel was pretty ordinary in the fact that the entire novel was based off leading up to the ending, the dinner party.   I do understand that it is not quite ordinary with all the wonderful details… View More

I believe that Clarissa Dalloway understood what being a wife was all about. It was her duty to throw parties and entertain her guests and be sure everyone was having a good time. I was right with Mrs. Dalloway being absolutely shocked that the death of that poor crazy man was brought up at her… View More

While reading the conclusion to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway I found myself more or less disturbed. I had thought that leaving off at the death of the deranged Septumus was difficult. However, the end of this short work was by far perplexing. I’ve found that analyzing the book can be quite exhausting. The conclusion takes… View More
