Virginia Woolfâs Orlando and the ecstatic disease of literature The 1928 novel Orlando is as much a love letter to literature as it is to a human being. It speaks passionately to those of us addicted to words, who lock ourselves away in quiet rooms and sink into different worlds, shutting off our external senses to sharpen our internal ones.
Admired first in the era of New Criticism as a supreme formalist writer, Woolf has since been recognized as one of the foundational feminist writers of the twentieth century and as a writer whose works are dynamically engaged with the political, philosophical, historical and materialist issues of her time.
