Abstract

The aim of this paper is to approach The Hours, written by Michael Cunningham and filmed by Stephen Daldry, to demonstrate that both discourses contain a tribute to the literary figure of Virginia Woolf with different degrees of success. Firstly, the purpose is to prove that both stories are shaped as a sui generis biographical construction of Mrs. Dalloway’s author.  Secondly, this study will go depper into the differences between both narrative works and will show that the film is better than the novel in its attempt to pay homage to the narrative style of Virginia Woolf.
