Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Voyage Out" by Virginia Woolf is a novel published in 1915. Rachel Vinrace embarks on a sea voyage to South America aboard her father's ship, launching a journey of self-discovery among a mismatched group of Edwardian passengers. As Rachel travels from her sheltered London life toward intellectual freedom and awakening consciousness, Woolf satirizes society while exploring themes of feminine identity, sexuality, and mortality. This debut novel contains the seeds of Woolf's later innovative style and introduced the character Clarissa Dalloway, who would become central to a future masterpiece.
