Mrs Dalloway which Daiches so aptly calls a London novel impresses us most strongly with its minute descriptions of London scenery. However, pastoral scenes related to the characters are interwoven with the urban setting of the novel : Lady Bruton daydreams about the fields of her hometown in Devonshire and Richard Dalloway dreams the idyllic landscape in Norfolk. Then what meanings and functions do the pastoral scenes have for Clarissa? Traditionally the pastoral has been discussed in a binominal contrast of city - country ; Toliver further defines it in terms of paradise, contrast and transformation. Clarissa' s case exemplifies this. In her London life, Pym' s florist' s becomes pastoral for her because the Arcadian space with flowers and fragrance is a locus amoenus, or a "lovely place" and provides her with the ecstacy of life and rest. Nevertheless, aging and death are already immanent in this earthly paradise. Pym notices that Clarissa looks "older this year" so that at Pym's florist" s there is also a diametric contrast between life and death. The transformational power of the pastoral functions in Clarissa' s party. Although the party is held at the Dalloways in London, it recreates the pastoral in her consciousness by reviving her rural past in Bourton. There in the locus amoenus, the sacred center of the pastoral circle, she succeeds in uniting her two opposite selves and becomes an integrated whole. Thus, this paper argues that by fusing the traditional pattern of the pastoral with "stream of consciousness" Clarissa establishes her inner reality. The influence of pastoral romance is also traced.
