As Edward Albert had exclaimed, "It is in this field that Virginia Woolf makes her most important contribution to the novel by an overriding concern with character presentation by the Stream Of Consciousness method." In the novel, Mrs. Dalloway, this method achieves its best results, in a modernistic way, the actions of the novel is mainly presented through the minds of Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway and a few characters surrounding her in a single day in London during one day and night in mid-June, 1923.
