Synopsis "Orlando (Wordsworth Classics) (in English)"

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.

Virginia Woolf nació en Londres el 25 de enero de 1882 y murió el 28 de marzo de 1941, ahogada en el río Ouse. Al morir su padre, el conocido hombre de letras sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia y su hermana Vanessa abandonaron el elegante barrio de Kensington y se trasladaron al bohemio Bloomsbury, que dio nombre al brillante grupo literario formado alrededor de las hermanas Stephen. En él participaron, entre otros, T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West y el escritor Leonard Woolf, con quien se casó Virginia y junto al que dirigió la prestigiosa editorial Hogarth Press. Desde sus primeras obras, Virginia Woolf resaltó su intención de llevar las novelas a algo más que a una mera narración. En La señora Dalloway (1925) y Al faro (1927), la autora expresaba los sentimientos interiores de los personajes con técnicas propias, consiguiendo grandes efectos psicológicos por medio de imágenes, metáforas y símbolos. Su técnica se consolidó con Orlando (1931) y Las olas (1931), que le dieron un puesto indiscutible dentro de la mejor literatura universal. Además, Woolf escribió ensayos tan famosos como Un cuarto propio (1929), que aún hoy es inspiración para las nuevas generaciones de mujeres, artículos de crítica literaria como los recopilados en El lector común (1925, 1932) y en Genio y tinta (2021), o la biografía del perro de la poeta inglesa Elizabeth Barrett, Flush (1933). Todas estas obras están publicadas en Lumen.
