At its heart are the life and works of Woolf's friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West, and Knole, the historic home of the Sackvilles. But as well as being a love letter to Vita, \u003cem\u003eOrlando\u003c\/em\u003e mocks the conventions of biography and history, teases the pretensions of contemporary men of letters, and wryly examines sexual double standards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition discusses Woolf's stylistic aims, the biographical parallels, and the work's literary context, and includes the original illustrations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
