Dalloway is based on the original British edition published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press, London, on 14 May 1925; the novel was reissued in September 1925 with a few textual changes. The first American edition was published by Harcourt, Brace & Company, New York, on 14 May 1925. The typescript which Virginia Woolf sent to her printers, R. & R. Clark, Edinburgh, is not extant. Using it as copy, they sent her at least three sets of proofs. The set which she returned to them, and from which the first British edition was printed, is not extant. A second set, which she sent to her American publishers for the first American edition is extant, and so is a third, which she sent to her friend Jacques Raverat, who was fatally ill (he died on 7 March 1925), so that he could see her novel before its publication. These two sets of proofs both contain corrections made by Virginia Woolf, corrections which do not always correspond with each other nor with the text of the first British edition.
