With an Introduction and Notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, Professor and
Chair, Department of English, California State University,
Bakersfield. Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most
charming love letter in literature', playfully constructs the
figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close
friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries,
the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabeth's
England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience
with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace
of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an
ambassador in Costantinople, awakes to find that he is a woman, and
the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of
women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928, a
year consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando, now a wife
and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new
hope and promise for women.
