The Voyage Out is the debut novel written by Virginia Woolf, and it was first published in 1915. The novel is a precursor to Woolf s later, more experimental works and marks the beginning of her literary career. Set in the early 20th century, The Voyage Out tells the story of Rachel Vinrace, a young English woman who embarks on a sea voyage from London to South America with her aunt and uncle. During the voyage, Rachel encounters a diverse group of passengers, each with their own quirks and complexities. She also develops romantic feelings for Terence Hewet, one of her fellow travelers. The novel explores themes of self-discovery, coming of age, and the limitations placed on women in early 20th-century society. It also delves into the inner lives of its characters, providing insight into their thoughts and emotions. While The Voyage Out may not be as well-known as some of Woolf s later works, it is a significant literary achievement in its own right. It showcases Woolf s early storytelling skills and foreshadows the themes and narrative techniques that would become hallmarks of her later, more celebrated novels.
