Virginia Woolf has long been recognised as a towering presence in British Modernist writing with her celebrated novels of the 1920s and 30s. But how did her literary career begin? This course will focus upon her first two novels, The Voyage Out (1915) and Night and Day (1919), in which she embraces the conventional style of the time but also hints at the later development of her experimental modernist fiction. We will explore her first steps as a novelist and we will also consider some of her short stories and essays written in the same period.
