Lot Description
WOOLF, Virginia (1882-1941). The Voyage Out. London: Duckworth & Co., 1915.
8vo. Half-title; 22pp. publisher's advertisements. (Tiny stains to upper margin of a few leaves.) Original green cloth, lettered in black on upper cover, spine gilt-lettered, publisher's blind device on lower cover (discreet repairs to joints and lower hinge, some light rubbing).
FIRST EDITION OF WOOLF'S FIRST NOVEL, one of 2,000 copies printed. Woolf began writing The Voyage Out in 1910, and by 1912, had finished a draft of the manuscript. The 1920 New York Times review of Woolf's novel, published to coincide with the first American printing of the work, remarks that this first novel "by an English writer, gives promise in its opening chapters of much entertainment." Fitzpatrick A1a.
