To celebrate Pride Month, we offer again an article first printed on January 15, 2018.
Virginia Woolf is a celebrated novelist and essayist, who was one of the first of the Modernist writers to use the stream-of-consciousness technique. We celebrate Woolf’s birthday on January 25 by presenting Orlando: A Biography, first published on 11 October 1928. One of Woolf’s most popular novels, this story takes a satiric look at the history of English literature while featuring the adventures of Orlando, a poet who changes sex over the centuries. This book has an important place in feminist and transgender literature. It is inspired by Vita Sackville-West, a writer whose own poetry and novels we feature here at Faded Page and with whom Woolf had a romantic relationship.
We offer other works by Virginia Woolf, including the well-known feminist essay, “A Room of One’s Own”, the novel The Waves and the collection, A Haunted House and Other Short Stories. Come join us and proof a few pages to help us bring more public domain titles like these to Canada. More information about volunteering is available on our companion site Distributed Proofreaders Canada.
