Description

Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf Spanning three centuries, this novel tells the story of Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth's England, as he navigates the complexities of love, identity, and social change. The novel's central theme of transformation is skillfully woven throughout its narrative, as Orlando's experiences unfold from the frosty grip of the Great Frost to the vibrant world of 1928. As Orlando's story unfolds, the novel explores the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries, delving into the farcical and ironic aspects of life as a woman in a rapidly changing world. With its unique blend of humor, wit, and insight, Orlando is a thought-provoking and engaging read that invites readers to consider the complexities of identity and social change. With an introduction and notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, this edition of Orlando provides a rich and nuanced understanding of Woolf's masterpiece.
