<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>" . . . an unabridged republication of the work originally published in 1915 by Duckworth & Company, London. The Note and footnotes were first published in 2006" -- Verso title page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"A strange, tragic, inspired novel . . . as poignant as anything in modern fiction." -- E. M. Forster <p/> This acclaimed novel marked the debut of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant and important writers. In Virginia Woolf's captivating exploration of a young woman's growing self-awareness, the events of a shipboard journey to South America parallel the naive heroine's inner quest. Her experiences, from a first kiss to a surprising flowering of real love, may inspire the reader to reflect on gender roles in society, love among intellectuals, and the strivings and sorrows of life. <br><i>The Voyage Out</i> offers an excellent introduction to Woolf's writing. Not only is it the first of her novels, it is also one of the most accessible. Less formally experimental than Woolf's later books, but highly representative of her poetic style and innovative techniques, it offers a moving depiction of the thrills and confusion of youth.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>English author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) ranks among the foremost writers of the modern era. A pioneer of the stream-of-consciousness narrative, she had a profound effect on other writers of the 1920s and 30s, and her influence endures to the present day.
