Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey-a nobleman, traveler, writer? Man or . . . woman?Written for the charismatic, bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is one of Woolfs most popular and accessible novels, a playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure that is both a wry commentary on gender and, in Woolfs own words, a "writers holiday" that delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.This edition is collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the authors intentions, and includes an illuminating introduction and notes by the distinguished scholar and coauthor of The Madwoman in the Attic Sandra M. Gibert.Penguin Vitae-loosely translated as "Penguin of ones life"-is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing.

Author Biography Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), one of the great twentieth-century authors, was at the center of the Bloomsbury Group and is a major figure in the history of literary feminism and modernism. She published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915, and between 1925 and 1931 produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism, and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and the passionate feminist essay A Room of Ones Own (1929).Andrea Lawlor (foreword) is the author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, a modern homage to Orlando that was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Fiction. The winner of a Whiting Award, they teach writing at Mount Holyoke College.Sandra M. Gilbert (introduction, notes) is Professor Emerita at the University of California, Davis, and co-author, with Susan Gubar, of the classic work of feminist literary criticism The Madwoman in the Attic- The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination.
