Orlando is a groundbreaking novel that explores themes of gender, identity, and the fluidity of time through the life of its protagonist, who transforms from a man into a woman and lives for centuries without aging. The novel is celebrated for its lyrical prose, innovative narrative structure, and its feminist and LGBTQ+ themes, challenging traditional notions of gender and society. Woolf's use of a fantastical and satirical approach allows her to critique and comment on the rigid gender roles of her time, making 'Orlando' a seminal work in gender studies and a classic of 20th-century literature.
Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a pivotal work that blends history, and literature, reflecting the life of Vita Sackville-West, Woolf's muse and lover. Its innovative narrative, transcending time and gender, has made it a cornerstone in feminist and transgender literary studies. The novel's adaptations across film, theater, and opera underscore its enduring impact on exploring identity and expression, emblematic of the progressive ideals of the Bloomsbury Group to which Woolf and Sackville-West belonged.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
