De golven
In De golven volgt Virginia Woolf een groep vrienden van hun jeugd tot middelbare leeftijd. We lezen over hun sociale activiteiten, individuele belevenissen en prestaties – maar het belangrijkste, meest onderscheidende van de roman is de rijke, poëtische taal waarin hij is geschreven. Woolfs onnavolgbare stijl weerspiegelt het innerlijke leven, de gedachten en gevoelens van de personages, hun streven en sneven, hun triomf en spijt, hun eenzaamheid. En hun levensvragen. Misschien nog meer dan haar andere romans toont De golven de complexiteit van het leven op aarde. Kenners en critici beschouwen deze roman als het hoogtepunt van Woolfs experimenten met lyrische techniek. De golven bestaat uit innerlijke monologen van zes personages die betrekking hebben op strand en zee, van ochtend tot avond. De gevoelens en gedachten doen aan elkaar denken. Zo schept Woolf een volstrekt uniek universum: poëtisch en menselijk en van alle tijden.

Clarissa Dalloway is begin vijftig, elegant en de perfecte gastvrouw, maar ze voelt zich oud en uitgerangeerd. Haar man is succesvol, maar saai, en haar volwassen dochter heeft haar zorg niet meer nodig. Op een dag komt Clarissa, terwijl zij bloemen koopt voor het feest van die avond, haar voormalige aanbidder Peter tegen, die zij in een ver verleden heeft afgewezen.
