Together and Apart

Together and Apart was probably written in early 1925. It is one of a number of short stories by Virginia Woolf set at a party in the Westminster home of Richard and Clarissa Dalloway, the hosts of the central social event in her novelMrs Dalloway (1925). The story originally carried the (slightly ironic) title ofThe Conversation, and it was first published in A Haunted House (1944).
