Example text
Forster even compared the novel to Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights. Woolf herself always feared that her work was “an idiot’s dream, of no value to anyone,” and these accolades reassured her. Despite the book’s critical acclaim, though, it saw very little commercial success. The Voyage Out made less than £125 for its author. Centered on a young woman, The Voyage Out tells the story of Rachel Vinrace’s trip to South America. Accompanied by her father, Rachel visits her aunt in Santa Marina.
Woolf, the only female participant, wore an embroidered caftan with chains and a turban. In addition, she used a beard and mustache to cover her blackened face. On February 10, 1910, the “Abyssinian” entourage arrived in Weymouth, where the British Navy met them. With Adrian acting as a translator (using mispronounced phrases of Virgil and Homer), the six friends toured the ship. Upon their return, Horace leaked the prank to the newspapers.

Strachey, who was openly homosexual, corresponded regularly with Woolf. They enjoyed each other’s wit and humor, and the “safety” of Strachey’s homosexuality may have attracted the sexually inexperienced Woolf.
