Born in the Elizabethan Age to wealth and position, he is a young male aristocrat at the beginning of the story - and a modern woman four centuries later. The hero-heroine sees monarchs come and go, hobnobs with great literary figures, and slips in and out of each new fashion. Woolf presents a brilliant pageant of history, society, and literature as well as subtle appreciation of the interplay between endings and beginnings, past and present, male and female.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48355914940609,"sku":"","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/4406\/9251\/files\/715OPLmBUdL._SL1500.jpg?v=1718126672","url":"https:\/\/greenhandbookshop.com\/products\/orlando-a-biography-by-virginia-woolf","provider":"Green Hand Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
