HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The
flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and
went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into
practice.' Written for her lover Vita Sackville-West, 'Orlando' is
Woolf's playfully subversive take on a biography, here tracing the
fantastical life of Orlando. As the novel spans centuries and
continents, gender and identity, we follow Orlando's adventures in love -
from being a lord in the Elizabethan court to a lady in 1920s London. First
published in 1928, this tale of unrivalled imagination and wit quickly
became the most famous work of women's fiction. Sexuality, destiny,
independence and desire - all come to the fore in this highly
influential novel that heralded a new era in women's writing.
