Description:
Orlando: A Biography is a genre-defying novel that follows the extraordinary life of Orlando, who begins as a nobleman in Elizabethan England and mysteriously transforms into a womanÑliving on through centuries without visibly aging. Virginia Woolf masterfully weaves together biography, satire, and literary history to question the rigidity of gender roles and celebrate the fluidity of identity and experience.
Originally written as a tribute to WoolfÕs close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is both whimsical and profound. The novel uses poetic language, historical parody, and fantastical storytelling to examine how personal identity interacts with societal norms, offering a rich and subversive critique of literary and cultural traditions.
This 2025 edition by Aedha Imprints is an ideal volume for readers seeking a classic that is as bold and innovative today as when it was first published. A must-have for students, literary enthusiasts, and those interested in feminist and LGBTQ+ literature.
