Krátky popis
Once described as the 'longest and most charming love-letter in
literature', the Virginia Woolf'sOrlando is edited by Brenda Lyons
with an introduction and notes by Sandra M. Gilbert in Penguin
Classics. Written for Virginia Woolf's intimate friend, the
charismatic writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a playful mock
'biography' of a chameleonic historical figure, immortal and
ageless, who changes sex and identity on a whim. First masculine,
then feminine, Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century
nobleman, then gallops through three centuries to end up as a woman
writer in Virginia Woolf's own time. A wry commentary on gender
roles and modes of history, Orlando is also, in Woolf's own words,
a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in ambiguity and
capriciousness. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major
20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history
as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury
Group'. This informal collective of artists and writers, which
included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful
influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between
1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her
finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and
highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an
astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism
and biography, including the playfully subversiveOrlando (1928) and
A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay.
