Summary
CHANCE was one of Conrad's few best-selling novels, and one of the few he designed to appeal specifically to women. Essentially a romance, it tells the story of a young woman who is forced to choose between loyalty to her disreputable father and devotion to her sea-captain husband. Derided by critics when it was published in 1913, CHANCE is now considered to be one of Conrad's greatest novels.

Voyage Out
by Virginia Woolf
The Voyage Out (1915) is the story of a rite of passage. When Rachel Vinrace embarks for South America on her father's ship she is launched on a course of self-discovery in a modern version of the mythic voyage. Virginia Woolf knew all too well the forms that she was supposed to follow when writing of a young lady's entrance into the world, and she struggled to subvert the conventions, wittily and assiduously, rewriting and revising the novel many times. The finished work is not, on the face of it, a 'portrait of the artist'. However, through The Voyage Out readers discover Woolf as an emerging and original artist: not identified with the heroine, but present everywhere in the social satire, the lyricism, and the patterning of consciousness.
