Decent basic all-round analysis of 'Mrs Dalloway', sometimes a little surface-level or vague, but mostly very interesting and actually very readable. Not dry academic jargon. This was only really useful to me for its references to other critics (very abundant so I appreciate that), but for its purpose as a concise "guide" this is very good.
Slightly weird formatting with the sections in smaller blue font which you have to flick back and forth to read alongside the main text. Also I wish there was a better bibliography indicating the precise references for all the critics' quotes. Maybe you can find it online but it could have just been included in the back with the "further reading".
