Orlando has sometimes been dismissed as a romp. As a less important book than Mrs Dalloway or To the Lighthouse. This is to misread it. It was far ahead of its time in terms of gender politics and gender progress

The Cossacks
Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in the Tula province. He studied at the University of Kazan, then led a life of pleasure until 1851 when he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus. He established his reputation as a writer with The Sebastopol Sketches (1855-6). After a period in St Petersburg and abroad, he married, had thirteen children, managed his vast estates in the Volga Steppes and wrote War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). A Confession (1879-82) marked a spiritual crisis in his life, and in 1901 he was excommuincated by the Russian Holy Synod. He died in 1910, in the course of a dramatic flight from home, at the railway station of Astapovo.

Liefst schepsel
Brieven aan Vita Sackville-WestNiemand heeft de verbeelding van Virginia Woolf zo gestimuleerd als Vita Sackville-West, met wie ze jarenlang een intense relatie onderhield. Niet alleen wijdde Woolf haar beroemde roman Orlando aan Vita Sackville-West, ze schreef haar ook vele onstuimige brieven, bruisend van liefde en fantasie. De periode waarin Sackville-West de meeste invloed had op Woolfs leven is tegelijk de periode waarin Woolf haar belangrijkste werken schreef. Die werken volgden elkaar ook nog eens in ongewoon hoog tempo op: Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928), A Room of One’s Own (1929) en The Waves (1931). Het zijn de boeken waarop haar naam en faam berusten. De ruime selectie uit Woolfs brieven aan Sackville-West vertelt het verhaal van hun relatie en biedt een intieme inkijk in het leven en de liefde van een van de belangrijkste Engelse schrijvers van de twintigste eeuw.
