Orlando: A high-spirited romp inspired by the tumultuous family history of Woolf’s lover and close friend, the aristocratic poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West
The novel describes the adventures of a poet who changes sex from man to woman and lives for centuries, meeting the key figures of English literary history. The story spans over 400 years.
Through Orlando‘s transformation from man to woman, Virginia subtly exposes the gender difference or in her view the “gender neutrality” and confronts the history of East and West by questioning the boundaries of space and time.
