In Edward Mendelson, Virginia Woolf has found a profoundly generous and intelligent reader, one who considers Mrs. Dalloway in its full complexity. Elegant and eloquent—this book is excellent company. -- Anne Fernald, editor of <i>The Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf</i> Thanks to Edward Mendelson, I’ve lived Mrs. Dalloway all over again, and seen and felt the novel anew. Rare for literary criticism to act like a revelation, but The Inner Life of Mrs. Dalloway does just that, showing how Virginia Woolf creates dramas of intimacy and epiphany in the larger contexts of Empire, and medical and emotional coercion. A work of admirable acuity and ethical force. -- Rosanna Warren, author of <i>So Forth</i> and <i>Max Jacob: A Life in Art and Letters</i>
