  • "Gefingeerde autobiografie van een jonge edelman, die in de loop van eeuwen langzaam een vrouw wordt."
  • "Presents an unusual biography. Orlando is a colorful, imaginative and witty stroll through the centuries."@en
  • "The central character is explored in changing times and even gender. We see Orlando as a dashing young man at the courts of Elizabeth I and Charles II, as a young woman in the London of Addison and Pope, taking tea with Dr. Johnson and driving down Regent Street in 1928."
  • "Orlando doubles as first an Elizabethan nobleman and then as a Victorian heroine who undergoes all the transitions of history in this novel that examines sex roles and social mores."

  • "Orlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920s. For Virginia Woolf, a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Orlando was more than a fantastic flight of imagination. It was a roman a clef, a love letter for her lover, the charismatic, eccentric bisexual, Vita Sackville West. Orlando's journey, from wondrous youth barbed by love, to feted writer, settled in her femininity, is a wild and curiously relevant fable for our times."@en
  • "Fantasy, love offering, exuberant celebration of English life and literature, Orlando is a uniquely entertaining novel. Originally conceived by Virginia Woolf as a playful tribute to Vita Sackville-West, Orlando's central character lives as both a man and a woman through four centures."
  • "The central character is explored in changing times, and even gender. We see Orlando as a dashing young man at the courts of Elizabeth I and Charles II, as a young woman in the London of Addison and Pope, taking tea with Dr. Johnson, and driving down Regent Street in 1928. Previously published in 1928."@en
  • "Originally published in 1928, this classic story by Virginia Woolf was modelled on her friend Vita Sackville-West's personality. Orlando chooses her own sexual identity as she lives through three centuries as both a man and a woman."@en
