Итог:The article begins by exploring the impact of Bloomsbury on the creative process of Virginia Woolf’s first novel, Melymbrosia, published in 1915 as The Voyage Out. Within this fertile artistic microcosm, conversations enlarged the author’s social and intellectual experiences and also nourished her fiction, since they undoubtedly put an imprint on the gestation of her first novel. When examining the different stages of the revision of The Voyage Out, it appears that the conversational patterns and configurations are already rooted in the novel from the very beginning of its composition. However, the author endeavours to modify most of her characters’ dialogues from Melymbrosia and resorts to developing and enhancing silence. Thus, the protagonists become elusive and dissolving as their voices are gradually wiped out.
