- Gates, Kindred Nature, pp. 189–90.
- Jekyll, Wood and Garden, p. 6.
- Festing, Gertrude Jekyll, p. xii.
- Pollock, Vision and Diff erence, especially pp. 70–126. ‘[S]paces of femininity’ is based on
the premise that the experiences and perspectives of women are somewhat moulded by
the environment they are placed within as a result of the socially constructed defi nitions
of appropriate venues for respectable women. But, as Jekyll’s career proves, these spaces
were manoeuvrable and the women within them were able to mould them to meet their
own needs and to align with their aspirations.

development. - V. Woolf, Th e Letters of Virginia Woolf, ed. N. Nicolson, 6 vols (New York: Harcourt
Brace, 1975–80), vol. 1, p 383. - Th is date refers to R. Hakluyt’s Divers Voyages Touching the Discoverie of America and the
Ilands Adjacent unto the Same, Made First of All by Our Englishmen and Aft erwards by
the Frenchmen and Britons: With Two Mappes Annexed Hereunto (London, 1582). Alice
Fox has commented on the relationship between Hakluyt’s work and Th e Voyage Out
in her article on the subject, where she argues that Woolf ’s concept of the ‘voyage’ was
greatly infl uenced by this text. ‘Virginia Woolf at Work; Th e Elizabethan Voyage Out’,
Bulletin of Research in the Humanities, 84 (Spring 1981), pp. 65–84. Gillian Beer draws
signifi cant links between Th e Voyage of the Beagle and Th e Voyage Out in ‘Virginia Woolf
and Pre-History’, in E. Warner (ed.), Virginia Woolf: A Centenary Perspective (London:
Macmillan, 1984), pp. 99–123. - V. Woolf, Th e Voyage Out: Th e Defi nitive Edition, ed. E. Heine (London: Vintage, 1992),

Th e Voyage Out’, in K. Mezei (ed.), Ambiguous Discourse: Feminist Narratolog y and Brit-
ish Women Writers (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1996), pp.
109–36 comes the closest to acknowledging the clear links between narrative and space.
However, it does not explore how these individual landscapes refl ect on the stages of
Rachel’s development. - S. Ledger, Th e New Woman: Fiction and Feminism at the Fin de Siècle (Manchester: Man-
