Abstract

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) enjoys worldwide reputation among modern writers for her art of the steam-of-consciousness in the 20th century. Mrs. Dalloway is the representative novel in which Woolf well practices her writing skills and finds her true voice, drawing many researchers’ attention. This paper stands the point -- modernism, which responds to literature and society, alternation of space and time arranged by Woolf under the influence of Einstein’s modern science theories, and the disillusionment of Septimus Warren Smith discarded by his so-called modern society after World WarⅠ.
