The Voyage Out

In The Voyage Out, one of Woolf’s wittiest, socially satirical novels, Rachel Vinrace embarks for South America on her father’s ship, and is launched on a course of self-discovery in a modern version of the mythic voyage. Lorna Sage’s Introduction and Explanatory Notes offer guidance to the reader new to Woolf, and illuminate Woolf’s presence, not identifiable in the heroine, but in the social satire, lyricism and patterning of consciousness in one woman’s rite of passage.
