Description
The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. In this subversive take on biography, Virginia Woolf explores the fantastical life of Orlando, tracing its adventures in love across centuries and continents. From being a lord in Elizabethan England to a lady in 1920s London, Orlando's story is one of identity, desire, and independence. Sexuality, destiny, and the complexities of human experience all come to the fore in this highly influential novel that heralded a new era in women's writing. First published in 1928, 'Orlando' remains a powerful exploration of the human condition, its themes and ideas continuing to resonate with readers today.
