Orlando

This glittering fantasy stretches through the perspective of four centuries.

To quote Bernard Blackstone in his essay, Virginia Woolf, it shows the central character, Orlando, ‘first masculine, and then feminine; first in love, and then loved; first jilting, and then jilted; a man of action and a poet; a woman of fashion and a Victorian lady’.

Through the eyes of an English aristocrat with both literary and philosophic talents, we see a brilliant panorama of changing society.
