Modernism and Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway'

SUBJECTS:  English

YEARS:  9–10


Mrs Dalloway' by Virginia Woolf is a modernist novel. What makes it so?

Think of how it contrasts with Edwardian and even 19th century novels.

How does consciousness, or internal reality, as well as multiple perspectives play a part in modernist literature like 'Mrs Dalloway'?
