NOTES

Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a groundbreaking work of literature that transcends traditional boundaries of gender, time, and identity. Published in 1928, this novel is a remarkable blend of history, biography, and fiction, offering a unique exploration of the fluidity of self. Woolf's narrative follows the life of Orlando, who begins as a young nobleman in the Elizabethan era and undergoes a mysterious transformation into a woman, living through several centuries. Woolf's writing is both lyrical and incisive, delving into themes of gender, sexuality, and the nature of time with a wit and depth that is unparalleled. This novel is not just a story but a profound commentary on the constraints of society and the liberating potential of self-expression. Orlando is an essential read for those interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, and the exploration of identity
