"Maternal Connection and Paternal Dysfunction: Empathy in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway"

In this essay I argue that Mrs. Dalloway presents an English society in which male authority figures such as Richard Dalloway and Sir William Bradshaw perpetuate ableist ideals, and the opposing maternal and social values of the protagonist Clarissa Dalloway allow her to confront and reject these ideals in the climax of the novel, when she has her revelation about Septimus Smith. It was published in the 2022 Sigma Tau Delta Review, a national literary journal.

I wrote this article for presentation at John Hopkins University’s Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium in April 2021, and then submitted it for the conference’s corresponding journal. The article includes an analysis of the viewpoint of servants in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and the servants’ relationship to the titular heroine.
