Orlando Author:Virginia Woolf This is a brand new series of five of Woolf`s major works, in beautifully designed hardback editions. Written for Virginia Woolf`s intimate friend, the charismatic, bisexual writers 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 femini... more »ne, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman, then gallops through the centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf`s own time. 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.
