Abstract:
Mrs. Dalloway is one of the great twentieth century novels. In it, Woolf portrays the events of the First World War and their effect on the twentieth century thinking and writing, which resulted in the movement 'feminism' and 'modernism'. In his evaluation of the novel, Mrs. Dalloway, the researcher explores Woolf's engagement in feminism and modernism.
Woolf played a great role in the development of feminist thinking through her writings; explicitly in her essays and lectures, notably in A Room of One's Own and implicitly in her middle period-novels, especially Mrs. Dalloway. She was also one of the leading modernists who played a great role in the development of the twentieth century novel by using the innovative narrative technique, the stream of consciousness.
The researcher deals very vigilantly with Woolf's role in each case (feminism and modernism) and comes to his own carefully considered conclusions.
