"Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, one of the most significant modernist texts from the
Western literary canon, has spawned numerous contemporary offspring. Contemporary
authors have dialogued with it, challenged it, reinvented it and offered creative
responses to it, thus reinforcing its accumulated critical reputation and canonical
status. After meticulously tracing the genesis of Woolf's most iconic novel so as
to examine the production of Woolf's idiosyncratic Dalloway-esque signature, A Poetics
of Postmodernism and Neomodernism sets out to explore its reproduction by a variety
of postmodernist and neomodernist Anglo-American writers who are either openly indebted
to Woolf's novel or covertly influenced by it. The contemporary tributes that are
indebted to Mrs Dalloway in so many ways have rejuvenated the Woolfian novel and have
propelled it into the twenty-first century. Almost a hundred years after its publication,
Woolf's Mrs Dalloway has proved to be an enduring text, an 'ice-breaking vessel' which
continues to invite 'individual talents' to follow in its wake"
