Virginia Woolf's first novel about a young woman's search for life, love and the world

WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY FRANCES SPALDING AND ERICA WAGNER

A party of English people board the Euphrosyne bound for South America. Among them is Rachel Vinrace, young, innocent and wholly ignorant of the world of politics and society. She is a free spirit, half-caught, momentarily and passionately, by Terence Hewet, an aspiring writer. But their engagement is to end abruptly, not in marriage but in tragedy.

Published in 1915, The Voyage Out was Virginia Woolf's first novel.

About the author

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was born in London. She became a central figure in The Bloomsbury Group, an informal collective of British writers, artists and thinkers. In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. She wrote many works of literature which are now considered masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and The Waves.

Praise for The Voyage Out

Done with something startling like genius - in its humour and its sense of irony, the occasional poignancy of its emotions, its profound originality

Observer

It is absolutely unafraid... Here at last is a book which attains unity as surely as Wuthering Heights, though by a different path

E. M. Forster
