| Summary: | A literary criticism of the book "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf is presented. Focus is given to the topics of sound transduction and private listening by exploring how characters in the story listen in different ways. It argues that the narrative method of the book is evident in early twentieth-century phonograph listening methods and suggests that innovation in the story lies in its relay between external events and their internal reflections. |
