First published in England 1915, and following nearly a decade of composition, "The Voyage Out" is Virginia Woolf's first novel. Rachel Vinrace, the woman at the center of this beautiful and original story, is an intelligent, yet innocent, young English girl who embarks on a sea voyage to South America with distant relatives. Although she is far from the drawing rooms and theaters of London, she comes to learn of the worlds of politics and sex, love and marriage. Her journey takes a delicious turn when she meets -- and falls passionately for -- Terence Hewet, a man she meets in the Brazilian coastal town of Santa Marina. But it is in tragedy that this novel, poignant in its emotions, yet uncompromising in its vision, ultimately ends.

This is the first volume of an annual series dedicated to studies of Virginia Woolf, whose relevance to literary, feminist and cultural studies is stressed here.

This third volume of Woolf Studies Annual offers a rich collection of new work on Virginia Woolf, up-to-date resources for scholars, and several reviews of recent and not-so-recent books. Contributors include Susan Dick's transcription of and introduction to 'The Cook', a fictionalized portrait of Sophie Farrell, the Stephen family cook. David Bradshaw's research in the archives of For Intellectual Liberty (FIL) and other artists' organizations for civil liberties in the 1930s reveals that Woolf was perhaps the most politically radical of all her peers. Molly Hoff continues her exploration of the classical matrix of Mrs. Dalloway, Harriet Blodgett argues for a more formalist approach to food as a symbol in Woolf's novels, and Jean Long examines Woolf's relations to Charlotte Bront%. Diana Swanson describes the 'Antigone complex' in The Years, and Georgia Johnston reassesses issues of class inBetween the Acts. James Haule, a co-compiler of the Complete Concordance to the Novels of Virginia Woolf, offers his suggestions on how such a tool might be used, and the 'Guide to Collections' provides up-to-date information on holdings and access requirements for libraries with significant Bloomsbury manuscripts in the U.K., the U.S., and Canada. Vara Neverow and Merry Pawlowski's 'Preliminary Bibliographic Guide to the Footnotes of Three Guineas' is a valuable new resource for researchers. There are also reviews of new books by Claire Kahane, Bonnie Kime Scott, Laura Doyle, and others. Woolf Studies Annual is an essential asset for anyone working on Woolf.

'Love Over Scotland' revolves around the many colourful characters that come and go at No 44 Scotland Street. It features the stalwart Tory chartered surveyor, the pushy mother, and the Italian-speaking prodigy, Bertie.

The proliferation of Virginia Woolfs in both high and popular culture, she argues, has transformed the writer into a "star" whose image and authority are persistently claimed or challenged in debates about art, politics, gender, the canon, class, feminism, and fashion."--Jacket.
