The Voyage Out
by Virginia Woolf
In Voyage Away, one of Wolfe's most witty, socially satirical novels, Rachel Winras travels to South America on her father's ship and sets out to get to know herself in the modern version of the legendary journey. Lorna Sage's introductory and explanatory notes provide instructions to the reader who is new to Wolfe and emphasize Wolfe's presence, not in the protagonist, but in social satire, lyricism, and stereotypical consciousness in a woman's rite of passage.
