Which author is associated with the work Mrs. Dalloway?

• A. Virginia Woolf
• B. Jane Austen
• C. Emily Brontë
• D. George Eliot

Answer: (A)

Mrs. Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf, written in the modernist era and famous for its stream-of-consciousness technique that follows characters’ inner thoughts across a single day in London after World War I. This approach—foregrounding memory, perception, and subjective experience over straightforward plot—is a hallmark of Woolf’s work, making her the author most closely associated with this book. The other authors listed wrote different famous works in earlier periods: Jane Austen is known for Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Emily Brontë for Wuthering Heights, and George Eliot for Middlemarch. Their styles and themes differ from the experimental inner life and time-shifting focus that define Mrs. Dalloway.
