| Abstract: | Is the meaning of life to be found in the real world or in the imagined one? Trying to answer the question, Woolf offers the reader the story of this young nobleman of the Elizabethan Age who undergoes changes whenever life proves not to be the reality (s)he needs, the aspiring poet transgressing time, space and the body. Woolf’s Orlando is not only about the search for the meaning of life, about love and the changes it triggers, if only at the level of the written wor(l)d. It is also a novel about the condition of the artist/writer, about life and love perceived as an incentive to create. |
