Notă biografică
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a British author, essayist, and one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. A central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, she is best known for pioneering the stream-of-consciousness narrative style in novels such as Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves. Woolf's work delved into themes of identity, time, gender, and the inner lives of her characters with lyrical intensity and psychological depth. She was also a powerful voice in feminist thought, especially through her essay A Room of One's Own. Woolf's innovative style and bold ideas continue to shape literature and feminist discourse today.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'I feel the need of an escapade after these serious poetic experimental books...I want to kick up my heels & be off.'Orlando tells the tale of an extraordinary individual who lives through centuries of English history, first as a man, then as a woman; of his/her encounters with queens, kings, novelists, playwrights, and poets, and of his/her struggle to find fame and immortality not through actions, but through the written word. At its heart are the life and works of Woolf's friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West, and Knole, the historic home of the Sackvilles. But as well as being a love letter to Vita, Orlando mocks the conventions of biography and history, teases the pretensions of contemporary men of letters, and wryly examines sexual double standards. This new edition discusses Woolf's stylistic aims, the biographical parallels, and the work's literary context, and includes the original illustrations. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Recenzii
If you have always wanted to read Woolf but feel intimidated, Orlando is a good place to start. And you can't go wrong with this new Oxford edition.
This is a classic of world literature, and folks must at least attempt to read it to learn what is wrong or right with it. Thus, I recommend this novel for the purchase by all public and academic libraries, and private buyers.
