Description
Before Mrs Dalloway became the 1925 novel that secured Virginia Woolf’s place in the canon, there was “Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street.” This July 1923 issue of The Dial contains the story in its earliest printed form — a key transitional text in Woolf’s development of what would become one of the defining works of literary modernism. For collectors of Woolf, Bloomsbury, or high modernist first appearances, this is not a footnote. It’s the blueprint.
The Dial was one of the essential American modernist magazines, publishing Yeats, Eliot, Pound, and countless others. Woolf’s appearance here situates her squarely in that transatlantic modernist conversation. Copies of this issue surface infrequently, and when they do, they are often institutional or priced accordingly. This example shows its age — honestly and visibly — but remains complete and entirely suitable as a collection copy while you wait (perhaps years) for a sharper, far more expensive copy to appear.
A scarce and important Woolf appearance — offered at a fraction of what a superior copy will demand when it surfaces.
