Robert McCrum “The 100 best novels: No 50 – Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (1925)” http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/01/100-best-novels-mrs-dalloway-virginia-woolf-robert-mccrum

昨年末から今年前半にかけて、『ガーディアン』の記事をチェックすることを怠っていたこともあり、” The 100 best novels”なるシリーズにも気づかなかった（orz）。
『ダロウェイ夫人』は直接言及されないが、最初のパラグラフに曰く、

In the spring of 1924, Virginia Woolf, then in her 40s, gave a famous lecture, later published as the essay Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown, in which she declared that "we are trembling on the verge of one of the great ages of English literature". She might have been speaking about herself. In the next 15-odd years, before her suicide, Woolf would transform the English literary landscape forever. She would innovate (To the Lighthouse); she would flirt (Orlando); she would provoke (A Room of One's Own) and, privately, would dazzle herself and her friends with a stream of letters (and diaries), all of which reveal a writer's mind at full tilt.
