I suppose this might mean that tomorrow (6/20) is ClarissaDay, should we like to officially establish it as a Wednesday in the middle of June.

So, I encourage you all to celebrate accordingly. Walk in your park. Buy some flowers. Wear a party dress. Meet up with a former lover for a chat.

We know the novel is set on a Wednesday in June of 1923, toward the middle of the month.<br><br>
June 21, 1923 was a Thursday.<br><br>
There were no solar eclipses in June in 1923.<br><br>
The other clue to the exact date would be the cricket scores, but David Bradshaw has shown that they are notional and do not correspond to the scores on a particular date.<br><br>
There is no ClarissaDay as there is a Bloomsday.<br><br>

It has been my considered opinion that Mrs Dalloway takes place on the Summer Solstice which, according to Whitaker's Almanac, occurs on June 21 in 1923."Everything had come to a standstill." Other opinions? Molly<br>
