"Mrs. Dalloway Said She Would Buy The Flowers Herself.”

First edition cover of Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, designed by Vanessa Bell. The design features abstract, organic shapes in black and yellow on a beige background, including stylized floral elements and a central motif resembling a bridge or a row of arches.

"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.”

One hundred years ago this month, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway was published. The novel epitomizes modernism’s drive to capture the fragmented texture of early twentieth-century life and to render psychological landscapes with clarity and nuance.
