Orlando

<p>'A fantasy impossible but delicious ... an exuberance of life and wit' <i>The Times Literary Supplement</i><br><br>First masculine then feminine Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman then gallops through the centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's own time. Written for the charismatic bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West this playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure is both a wry commentary on gender and in Woolf's own words a 'writer's holiday' which delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.<br><br>Edited by Brenda Lyons with an Introduction and Notes by Sandra M.
