Virginia Woolf's Orlando follows a protagonist who lives for centuries and changes sex partway through, a premise she treated as comedy as much as experiment.
Subtitled A Biography, the novel parodies that form while tracing English literary history through one improbably long life. Woolf's prose here is lighter and more playful than in her austere work, which makes the book an unusually approachable entry into her writing. It has also become central to discussions of gender in modern literature. This BK Publication paperback runs 216 pages and is marked for readers of sixteen and above, a level that suits both the style and the subject matter.
At a glance:
• Woolf's mock-biography of a centuries-spanning protagonist
• A 216-page paperback from BK Publication

• Frequently studied in relation to gender and modernism
For literature students, Woolf readers and collectors of modern classics, this edition is available at Boipoka.
