This reader's guide to Mrs. Dalloway brings to light a web of allusions weaved into one of Virginia Woolf's most read novels.

In this 2005 book, Jaffe examines the interactions of modernist literary fame and celebrity culture in the early twentieth century.

Her revolutionary novels and essays have inspired generations of feminists, and her life has aroused both interest and speculation. In Virginia Woolf A-Z, the author's works and autobiographical writings are set in the context of her infamous social milieu. Eight "family" trees map out the complicated relationships and living arrangements of the Bloomsbury Group, and a chronology gives a quick overview of the major events of Woolf's life. With over 1,300 entries and fifty illustrations, this desktop companion is the ideal antidote to those afraid of Virginia Woolf, and valuable beyond measure to those already familiar with her work.
