ORLANDO: A BIOGRAPHY

Written for Virginia Woolf's intimate friend, the charismatic, bisexual, writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a playful mock 'biography' of a chameleon-like historical figure who changes sex and identity at will. First masculine, then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through three centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's present day. A wry commentary on gender roles and modes of history, Orlando is also, in Woolf's own words, a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.

Fantasy, lover offering, exuberant celebration of English life and literature, ORLANDO is a uniquely entertaining novel. Originally conceived by Virginia Woolf as a playful tribute to Vita Sackville - West, ORLANDO's central character lives both as a man and a woman through four centuries. With an introduction by Quentin Bell, this definitive edition contains the original Hogarth Press text as overseen by the author, the illustrations which appeared in the first edition of ORLANDO in 1928, and a list of textual variants that appeared during her lifetime.
