Beschrijving

The Voyage Out is the first novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1915 by Duckworth; and published in the U.S. in 1920 by Doran. Rachel Vinrace embarks for South America on her father's ship and is launched on a course of self discovery in a kind of modern mythical voyage. The mismatched jumble of passengers provide Woolf with an opportunity to satirize Edwardian life. The novel introduces Clarissa Dalloway, the central character of Woolf's later novel, Mrs. Dalloway.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is considered one of the most important modernist authors of the twentieth century. She was also an essayist and a key figure in feminist literary history. Woolf’s works are formally experimental, modernist and impressionistic. Her major novels include "Mrs Dalloway" (1925), "To the Lighthouse" (1927) and "Orlando" (1928). She is also known for her essays, including "A Room of One’s Own" (1929).
