Book synopsis

Virginia Woolf's works and extraordinary figure not §only made her known and respected as one of the §leading Modernists of her time, but she also proved §to be an exciting challenge for Postmodern §literature and art. Reinterpretations and §adaptations of her works have emerged, most §importantly the adaptations of her novel Mrs §Dalloway, which have contributed to a great extent §to Woolf s growing popularity among the larger §audience. This short study analyzes the most §important Mrs Dalloway-adaptations, these being §Michael Cunningham s novel The Hours and Stephen §Daldry s film version based on it. Further on, it §explores the relations between the elements that §link Virginia Woolf, her Mrs Dalloway and both the §novel and the film The Hours together, with emphasis §on the representation of women. This work will §hopefully convey useful information for those who §are interested in the so-called Woolf-studies and §for those who are fond of adaptations.
