I came to say the same thing. I love it, in a way that's difficult to articulate, but is easily understood--I imagine--by anyone else who also has loved it.
a book set in the real world that cannot, arguably, be transferred into the visual medium! for at the heart of Mrs. Dalloway, is the mind, the inner world and impressions of the characters. Virginia Woolf truly put onto paper the intangible!
Virginia Woolf tells her stories the same as an artist paints his or her masterpiece. I watched the 2002 film, "The Hours", this evening and it always sparks intense curiosity about her. This was a really very good program.
Virginia Woolf's writing is some profound material. I would argue that The Voyage Out is a good starting point and then venture further only if you dare, her other works are a bit more advanced. I love her writing deeply.
She was not religious, but was mystic minded. Ellen Atkins portraityal of Virginia Woolf is well presented. And that what ever she thinks she talks about and writes it down. Hermione Lee has given us a background talk with wonderful candor.Thanks for uploading this video.
Thank you very much for this brilliant video. Could we have one on Edith Wharton please with Professor Lee?! Maybe the German subtitles could be redone, they are not at all doing justice to the wonderfully inspiring and uplifting original.
My favorite part is at 22:01 when "Virginia Woolf" rolls a "joint." Noice. An excellent video altogther, though. Watched it for a class, and learned a lot. Thanks.
Mrs Dalloways party is attended by her first love Sally Seton (now married with 5 sons) and the man she might have married Peter Walsh (still half in love with her). She hears about disturbed War veteran Septimus’s suicide earlier on that day and contemplates ending her own life but decides instead to return to her party. Great rendition of Virginia Woolf at her most sublime.
It's a monologue,the writer has written the character of Septimus ,which is her own version,her own life spent,a very depressing character,that is why we come to know how depressed and unhappy was the life of Virginia Woolf,it's masterpiece story had ever been written
She married a thoughtful intellectual Jew who quietly put up with all her meshugas…..overlooked is Leonard Woolf’s “Growing, An Autobiography of the Years 1904-1911”.
Virginia Woolf, Eileen Atkins, Hermione Lee all brilliant in their own way and this was British television. before the internet and social media's squandering
Indeed, women and native "peoples" were not in any way the same level of human as the bishops and cardinals the stilted world that Woolf inhabited. Unfortunately, such ideas are still current. Simply listen to the white men in power today and most especially the supremacists of today...the whiter than white. I had hoped for so much more as a dynamic young women of the 1970s. I was terribly mistaken. After years of hard labour, like many of my gender, i live as a poor old woman, barely alive and certainly not valued until dead. Only then some kind words will be spoken.
oh My No , No No No Why must Vigina Wolf gave to drown herself sometime in the spring time or summer time of 1941 perhaps to leave earth before Ww2 becomes even worse or due to mitigating circumstances or perhaps she felt depressed and lonely or something else Hiw old was Virgina Wolf before she had drowned herself in either the spring time or summer time 1941& then cremated! What a tragedy for someone who had it all or perhaps appeared to have it all ! Rip V.W. from Danica 💘 😻 u Virgina Wolf
A very interesting attempt to produce an experimental essay (as its subject matter), but it's quite annoying to see that the critic is always defending Woolf's work against its detractors. That was unnecessary.
American 50 year olds superficially look younger . Atkins doesnt look 70 to non Americans . She has had no cosmetic surgery and nor does she wear clothes or hairstyles that were worn by 30 yearolds in the period of the film . Its good casting and she sounds quite like the recording of Woolf i have heard

@Dalton London not you replying with your other account lmao😂
I Wish there's a program about Virginia's Woolf other masterpiece, To the Lighthouse. I wish there's a program about Iris Murdoch, .Carson Mccurllers.
This made me understand VW so much better. Thank you for this production and upload.
This video is a work of art in and of itself ❤

Television was like that back then. It still taught you something. It had depth. Now, everything is unbearably soulless.
Thank you for uploading this.
Very articulate and intelligent Hermione Lee. I’ve just bought her book about Woolf.
Splendidly presented. Many useful details. Thank you to all who worked on this video to present the full life of Virginia Wolf ....

incredible video! i love this channel- thank you so much for creating it!!🌹✨☁
Oh how I loved reading the 5 volumes of Virginia’s memoirs. Read them twice.

This is a wonderful production. I would love to see something for To the Lighthouse. :)
Brilliant video! Thank you. Truly, as has been said, a work of art.

No
Splendily done. Great job. Thank you very much
I love Virginia Woolf. She’s my role model. 🖤🙌🏻 Thank u *.*
Utterly! xxxx
Pretty good film Mrs Dalloway, by Marleen Gorris, 1997, with Vanessa Redgrave. And with Lena Headey! Much better than The Hours.
I want to travel back in time and be Virgina's pen.
You would soon get fed up and end up in the back of a drawer in the dark.
Pen, what does a pen know? You can maybe know more by study of works of the woman?
Yes, the “presence” and charge of just such a pen. I understand what you mean.
weird fetish
Wonderful. Thank you for posting.
20:00 "not feminist in the obvious sense" and clarissa's secret self
4:00 the fluidity of the narrative
Thank you very much for this brilliant video. Could we have one on Edith Wharton please with Professor Lee?! Maybe the German subtitles could be redone, they are not at all doing justice to the wonderfully inspiring and uplifting original.
Thank you so much . I loved it.

Not a joint silly, it's a roll up! That's how you roll tobacco.
10 years after this, Eileen Atkins made Mrs. Dalloway into a film and nearly went bankrupt because of it.
And then there was Hours.
The details of mrs dalloway is amazing ♥️
Excelente representación! Muy inteligente la producción! Esto es una obra de arte
Good performance by the actress, except Virginia Woolf was left handed. Nichole Kidman taught herself to write left handed for her portrayal.
Virginia rolls her own. Solid!
41:42. Hermione Lee defends Virginia's "intimations of immortality" - expressed through "Mrs Dalloway" - against the scoffing Leavis-ites.
so well put together !
Brilliant attempt to comprehend brilliance!wonderful

where are these clips from? the clips for the “movie” parts
this is helpful thank you!
Woolf's prose is sublime.
very well done...but
why the waves?? aren't we talking about Clarissa?
What if she had married Peter Walsh? Or had a relationship with Sally Seton?
Those might have made a good books in hypertext.
She married a thoughtful intellectual Jew who quietly put up with all her meshugas…..overlooked is Leonard Woolf’s “Growing, An Autobiography of the Years 1904-1911”.
All that time in her study and she doesn't smoke one cig?

What do you think about the current younger generation? Is gender and race superiority still as big a hurdle, I'd like to know your opinion. :)
Poor Septimus.

Very nice.
Perfection.
this video is so modernist and post modernist at the same time
I identify exactly. It is as if she knew all about me and put it life into words for me. Her thought processes are familiar to me.
Atkins looks wonderful like Virginia, brilliant ♡
15:10
To Yuma.
I feel like Virginia Woolf Was a Sister of mine..or a Cousine ...
In mind...❤
Thank you !!
🙏🙏🙏
An amazing bricolage, of different perspectives!
No comment.
Beloved Virginia ..... my hero!
HAVE TO....
fantastic

Ha Shakespeare could have been a woman
🙏
Why they create a character who looks 70 years old instead of a 50 years old? Did people looked older than their age back then?
No, Eileen Atkins looks to be in her late 50s.
American 50 year olds superficially look younger . Atkins doesnt look 70 to non Americans . She has had no cosmetic surgery and nor does she wear clothes or hairstyles that were worn by 30 yearolds in the period of the film . Its good casting and she sounds quite like the recording of Woolf i have heard
