O knihe
As Mabel Waring takes off her cloak and steps into the drawing room of Clarissa Dalloway,
she immediately realizes that something is not right: her pale-yellow silk dress, which she has
had specially made for the occasion, is clearly old-fashioned, dowdy and out of place. Everyone
seems to be looking at her in dismay or mocking her appearance. Crushed at once by her
insecurity, Mabel is pervaded by a sense of self-loathing, and feels utter revulsion for the social
world she has tried so hard to impress.
Written in 1924 and perhaps intended for inclusion in Mrs Dalloway, a book Woolf was working
on at the time, The New Dress is here accompanied by most of the short stories she published
in her lifetime and six other posthumously published narratives that share the milieu and some
of the characters of her celebrated novel. Together, they reveal their author as one of the finest
practitioners in the field of short fiction.
