Mrs Dalloway and Michael Cunningham's The Hours.}",

note = "Resumen disponible también en inglés: In 1925, Virginia
Woolf published her novel Mrs Dalloway, which would be
later known as one of the masterpieces of English
Modernism. Set in London in 1923, the story recounts one
day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a woman who belongs
to London’s upper-class, and Septimus Warren Smith, a
veteran who struggles with the trauma that the war left on
him. More than half a century later, the American writer
Michael Cunningham brought the acclaimed work back to life
in his novel The Hours, which, despite taking place in the
1990s New York City, narrates one day in the life of
Clarissa Vaughan and her friend Richard Brown, who suffers
from AIDS. Thus, this Undergraduate Dissertation focuses on
the figure of the double or alter ego not only between the
main female and male character of each novel, but also in
both as a whole as The Hours is undoubtedly an updated
version of Virginia Woolf’s novel.",
