- I follow Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway through the streets of London. Lots of spoilers & it’s a bit quiet so turn up your volume! (CW/TW: Discussion of suicide)

I finished reading Mrs Dalloway for the first time today. Keen to see other people's views I came across your video. So glad I did. Love your thoughts on books. For me I didn't like any of the characters that much in the book. You said a lot of the time the characters were concerned with appearances. I agree. I also felt that the characters were living their lives in a way that conformed to how society would expect them to live. They weren't necessarily living their lives to make themselves happy. The choices they made were based on what was expected of them. They never let their hearts rule their heads. The relationship between Peter and Clarisa was very interesting. I felt that Peter still loved Clarisa and wanted her to be jealous of his new romance just as he appeared jealous of her family. I think Sally illustrated the authors liking of women. Sally was the forbidden fruit if you like. Absolutely loved this book.
This was fab! I actually taught Mrs Dalloway for a summer school yesterday and I think I'm gonna to show this to my students tomorrow!
This video was so beautiful, it touched my heart. Thank you.
This video is another push for me to reread Mrs Dalloway! One of the reasons I love your channel is that you always seem to have such a deep and considered interaction with the books you read. It's such a pleasure to hear your thoughts, especially when it comes to complex books like Mrs Dalloway.
Nice! One of the few videos I was excited to watch!
Amazing video!
Your videographer did a real nice job.
Great topic.
It's wonderful to watch a passionate person talk.
I loved this video! Mrs. Dalloway is also one of my favourite novels and completing her walk through London is high on my bucket list :)
I forgot just how much I love your work. You have such charisma and articulation. Thanks for the stroll.
Claire, great idea for, and great video. Maybe it’s London itself that inspires great ambulatory literary content? Street Haunting remains one of my favourite Woolf essays.
I absolutely love Mrs Dalloway. It's one of my favourite novels. Thank you so much for this video ~
This is both completely stunning and utterly fascinating. Mrs Dalloway introduced me to Virginia Woolf, so I have a special fondness for it and it was lovely to get to think about it in more depth through this video!
This was enchanting! Now, after seeing this, I am hoping to someday take this walk and be able to experience Mrs. Dalloway in a new way such as this video has offered.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you for this video. It reminded me how much joy I got from reading Mrs. Dalloway almost a year ago, I would probably reread it in the coming months.
You just made my dream come true! I'm gonna do that someday 🤗 thank you for this!
What a lovely idea for a video ♡
Great idea and great execution. I have only read To The Lighthouse, but plan on reading more Woolf. I love novels that have a strong sense of place in which the city or location is almost like another character. I particularly love this feature of a novel if its a place I have been and loved or some place I want to go.
It was wonderful..to see the actual sites of the incidents 💓
I saw the title and just about peed my pants. Thank you so much! ! I love Mrs. Dalloway
I love Mrs Dalloway and this video only made me want to re read it! 💕💕💕
Enjoyed this very much. Mrs Dalloway is the only novel I now read! History/Politcs make much more interesting reading than fiction, but every once in a while I have to return to Mrs Dalloway. Ok, I read Shakespeare and occasionally Sherlock Holmes. If anyone says Sherlock Holmes is fiction I will sue ;) Thanks again.
Sherlock is definitely real ahaha
You have no idea how excited I was to see this video pop up in my subscription feed! Thank you for making more Virginia Woolf content. You will forever be the booktuber who made me #GoReadWoolf! 🙏(P.S. You can never own too many copies of Mrs. Dalloway😃)
Thanks!!
I studied 'Mrs Dalloway' as part of my English Lit degree. We were provided with a reading of a passage recorded by that great British actress, Anna Massey, who, with her cultured, yet unostentatious accent, really brought the text to life. The novel has fascinated me every since, and I wish Anna Massey had recorded the entire novel as an audiobook.
Amazing adventure
In June I saw a lovely Bloomsbury Exhibition in Stockholm and made a short video about it which you can find on my CZcams-Channel :) . xxx Catherine
Please do more videos
Bora LSS I’ve just relaunched my channel today with a new video!
Missing you. Hope life is going well.
Very interesting, love the book and the movie - but you need to invest in a better microphone, the sound was quite bad in this video.
Örn Leifsson Yeah it’s not the best for filming outside in really busy and loud parts of London. I’d love to buy one but I don’t have the money to save for one at the moment.
Stopped at1:41. Between the traffic noises and the addition of music, I could not hear the presenter. Shame
Unfortunately this was an old video before I could afford a microphone as I’m not a presenter so sorry about that. I do have a more recent video of the walk which you might find interesting!
