Why did Woolfe Write Mrs. Dalloway?

In my blog posts I have been focusing mainly on the way Woolfe creates her characters. I find the unique, very personal way of characterization that stream of conscious provides to be by far the most interesting aspect of Mrs. Dalloway. It was, and still is, a revolutionary, unique style of writing, and I believe this played a huge part in why she wrote it. She wanted to portray humanity in an accurate, relatable light, but conventional means of writing didn't offer the right feeling. The post World War I feeling among artists was that they had failed by allowing the war to occur. This meant they needed to explore new techniques and concepts. Woolfe took advantage of this to create an incredible example of excellent characterization.
