Orlando: a Biography by Virginia Woolf Paperback Book

Description: Orlando: a Biography by Virginia Woolf "Orlando: A Biography features a nobleman named Orlando who lives over three centuries, beginning in the Elizabethan era and ending in the twentieth century, and, remarkably, changes from man to woman at the midpoint"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Virginia Woolfs satirical, prescient novel Orlando, published in 1928, is a groundbreaking work that explores themes of gender, identity, and time. The narrative features a nobleman named Orlando who lives over three centuries, beginning in the Elizabethan era and ending in the twentieth century, and, remarkably, changes from man to woman at the midpoint. With its fusion of masculinity and femininity, this transformation allows Woolf to critique societal norms and expectations tied to gender and class in different periods. Through Orlandos unique life span and gender fluidity, Woolf suggests that gender is not fixed or binary, challenging the traditional concepts of gender roles and stereotypes. A complex and multilayered novel that defies easy categorization, Orlando is lauded for its rich prose and its pioneering representation of gender and queer identity. It is a work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Author Biography English author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) ranks among the foremost writers of the modern era. A pioneer of the stream-of-consciousness narrative, she had a profound effect on other writers of the 1920s and 30s, and her influence endures to the present day. Many scholars still examine her work for their themes on gender and sexuality. Her works include novels such as Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, as well as the nonfiction book A Room of Ones Own.(Adapted from an earlier thrift bio) Details ISBN0486852725 Author Virginia Woolf Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780486852720 Format Paperback Subtitle A Biography Audience General Pages 134 Publisher Dover Publications Inc.
