Krátký popis

With an Introduction and Notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, Professor and Chair, Department of English, California State University, Bakersfield.Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most charming love letter in literature', playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries, the novel opens as Orlando, ayoung nobleman in Elizabeth's England, awaits avisit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James Ilies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost.At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Costantinople, awakes to find that he is awoman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries.As the novel ends in 1928, ayear consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando, now awife and mother, stands poised at the brink of afuture that holds new hope and promise for women.
