Synopsis

Presented as a “biography”, this work follows Orlando, a young nobleman whose life begins at the court of Elizabeth I. Through unknown means, Orlando remains in their prime while undergoing radical transformations, with the narrative reaching the twentieth century and concluding with Orlando as a woman.

Along the way, the book turns its attention to love, purpose, and the challenge of understanding one’s place in the world, and it is noted as an influential text within gender and sexuality studies. Suitable for readers interested in biography and memoir.
