The Voyage Out (1915) is the story of a rite of passage. When
Rachel Vinrace embarks for South America on her father's ship she
is launched on a course of self-discovery in a modern version of
the mythic voyage. Virginia Woolf knew all too well the forms that
she was supposed to follow when writing of a young lady's entrance
into the world, and she struggled to subvert the conventions,
wittily and assiduously, rewriting and revising the novel many
times. The finished work is not, on the face of it, a `portrait of
the artist'. However, through The Voyage Out readers will discover
Woolf as an emerging and original artist: not identified with the
heroine, but present everywhere in the social satire and the
lyricism and patterning of consciousness. ABOUT THE SERIES: For
over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further
study, and much more.
