The voyage out
The Voyage Out is the first novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1915. The story follows Rachel Vinrace, a young woman who embarks on a sea voyage from England to a fictional South American country. The journey serves as a backdrop for her exploration of personal identity, relationships, and the constraints of Edwardian society. The narrative delves into themes of introspection, the nature of consciousness, and the challenges of female autonomy, set against the evolving social norms of the early 20th century. more
