Tipo de Trabajo Académico: Trabajo Fin de Grado
Notas: 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.
