Once called, "the longest and most charming love letter in literature," Orlando: A Biography(1928) is a semi-biographical novel by Virginia Woolf.
Inspired by a three-year long affair with Vita Sackville-West, Orlando: A Biography is the satirical tale of an adventurous young poet named Orlando and his journey through over three hundred years of English literary history. Born a male nobleman, Orlando is a handsome young man serving as a page at the Elizabethan Court. When he falls in love with Sasha, a Russian princess, Orlando is subjected to both heartbreak and inspiration-leading him onto a path he might not have otherwise pursued. Through trial, tribulation, harmony and strife, Orlando persists on and one day awakens to find that he has metamorphosed into a woman overnight. Embracing his newfound womanhood, Orlando begins a new life in the eighteenth century, making the acquaintance of great writers and poets alike as he works towards the publication of The Oak Tree, his centuries-old volume of poetry.
Praised as one of the most influential works of feminist and queer literature, Orlando: A Biography is a unique and unusual look at queer love in the twentieth century.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Orlando: A Biography is a classic of queer literature reimagined for modern readers.
To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928), and A Room of One's Own (1929), continued to suffer from depression throughout her life. Following the German Blitz on her native London, Woolf, a lifelong pacifist, died by suicide in 1941. Her career cut cruelly short, she left a legacy and a body of work unmatched by any English novelist of her day.
