Virginia Woolf
The New Dress
The New Dress was written in 1924 while Virginia Woolf was writing Mrs. Dalloway (which was published the following year). It is possible that it was originally to have been a chapter in the novel with which it shares some characters and events. It was not published until 1927 when it appeared in the May edition of the New York magazine The Forum. It appeared again in A Haunted House and Other Short Stories published in 1944, and in "Mrs Dalloway´s Party"published in 1973.

‘Waking, I cry “Oh, is this your – buried treasure? The light in the heart.”’
In these exquisite stories from the genius of English modernism, everyday objects acquire profound significance: a lump of buried green glass leads to a lifetime of obsession; a mark on the wall prompts a questioning of reality itself; a pale-yellow silk dress provokes a painful self-reckoning. Beautiful, strange and pioneering, each piece is a small precious stone to be held to the light and savoured.
