Virginia Woolf completed her first novel, Melymbrosia, in 1912. The story concerned the emotional and sexual awakening of a young Englishwoman traveling abroad and bristled with social commentary on homosexuality, the suffrage movement, and colonialism. Woolf was warned, however, that publishing an outspoken indictment of Britain could prove disastrous to her fledgling career as a novelist. The revised, quieter book was published under the title The Voyage Out. Virginia Woolf scholar Louise DeSalvo spent seven years uncovering the original novel from Woolf's papers in the archives of the New York Public Library.

Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 9x6x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. Melymbrosia is as covertly and as fiercely seditious as many of Jane Austen's novels. No matter how accomplished and risk-taking this first novel was, Woolf continually expressed fears about publishing it, about having it seen, exposed, and criticized. To her sister Vanessa Bell, she wrote that she hid her manuscript whenever anyone entered a room and she wondered if she would ever dare print it."-Louise DeSalvo.
