Once described as the longest and most charming love-letter in literature, the Virginia Woolfs Orlando is edited by Brenda Lyons with an introduction and notes by Sandra M. Gilbert in Penguin Classics. n n Written for Virginia Woolfs 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 Woolfs own time. A wry commentary on gender roles and modes of history, Orlando is also, in Woolfs own words, a light-hearted writers holiday which delights in ambiguity and capriciousness. n
