Integrating previous criticism on Woolf’s narrative, it thus aims to examine the fundamental features of the subgenre in which it roots. First, it inquiries into the diverse formative stages passed through by the character in her formation as an English subject of the beginning of the XXth Century. Second, and immediately related to the concrete ways in which these stages are passed, the article suggests that The Voyage Out could be read as a frustrated specimen of the genre –given that the formative goal is not achieved– and, feminist. El propósito del presente artículo es efectuar una lectura de Fin de viaje de Virginia Woolf en tanto texto que forma parte de lo que distintos teóricos coinciden en llamar novela de aprendizaje. Considerando asimismo los estudios previos que tuvieron lugar a partir de la obra de Woolf, el trabajo indaga dos cuestiones fundamentales en torno al subgénero en el que se enmarca. En primer lugar, se procura analizar cuáles son las instancias formativas que tiene que atravesar la protagonista para formarse como una ciudadana inglesa que debe ingresar a la sociedad adulta de principios del siglo XX. En segundo lugar y en relación directa con lo anterior, tiene el objetivo de pensar en qué medida puede considerarse como una novela de aprendizaje fallida –puesto que no logra el objetivo final esperado– y, además, feminista. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9732 10.34096/interlitteras.n2.9732 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9732/8572 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9732/8593 Inter Litteras; Núm. 2 (2020); 110-125 2683-9695 0328-8935 Bildungsroman education feminism Virginia Woolf Bildungsroman educación feminismo Virginia Woolf The Voyage Out: a Feminist Education Novel or How Women are Educated for their Entry into Society Fin de viaje: una novela de aprendizaje feminista o cómo se educa a la mujer para su ingreso a la sociedad info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=interlit&d=9732_oai
