Synopsis

(This Study Edition contains extra wide margins on each page to enable notes to be made.)

Orlando is one of Virginia Woolf’s lightest novels. It is a parodic biography of a young nobleman who lives for three centuries; at one stage abruptly changes into a woman; and in all that time never ages much beyond thirty. The book is in part a portrait of Woolf's lover, Vita Sackville-West, and was meant to console Vita for the loss of her ancestral home, though it is also a satirical treatment of Vita and her work. This edition includes every illustration from the first edition.

About this title

About the Author

Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. Between the two world wars, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One’s Own (1929), with its famous dictum, “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” Woolf suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life and committed suicide by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.
