- Synopsis
- Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a groundbreaking novel that transcends the boundaries of time, gender, and identity. Spanning over three centuries, it follows the life of its titular character, Orlando, who begins as a young nobleman in the Elizabethan era and undergoes a remarkable transformation into a woman in the 20th century. Woolf masterfully explores themes of fluidity in gender and the nature of self, challenging societal norms and expectations. Through a rich tapestry of historical and literary references, Orlando invites readers to reflect on the complexities of identity and the passage of time, all while maintaining a playful and innovative narrative style. This novel not only serves as a profound commentary on the roles of gender and sexuality but also celebrates the liberating power of creativity and self-expression.
