2 Having found that evidence from actual newspaper accounts does not correspond to what is in newspaper accounts of cricket matches read by characters in the novel, David Bradshaw argues that
Mrs. Dalloway
is set on an
imaginary
Wednesday in mid-June 1923 (182–83). Arguments for the actual dates of June 13 and June 20 have been made by Harvena Richter and Morris Beja, respectively.

The Common Reader
