Published in 1928, this "biography," follows Orlando, a young nobleman in the prime of his life, as he begins his life in the court of Elizabeth I. Through unknown means, Orlando does not age past his prime, but instead goes through radical transformations, ending the book in the twentieth century as a woman. Orlando's story focuses on love, purpose, the difficulty in understanding one's place in the world. Woolf's most unique work, Orlando remains an influential work in gender and sexuality studies.
