HUMOUR AND EXUBERANCE IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S “ORLANDO”
HUMOUR AND EXUBERANCE IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S “ORLANDO”

Summary/Abstract: Virginia Woolf’s most prominent novel with respect to experimentation, innovation and theme, Orlando is at the same time a time-travelling fantastical biography, a feminist statement and a hybrid cheerful comic work that presents with a critical eye the theories expressed by the patriarchal literary stage. The exuberant and humorous rendering of an unusual journey through history examines the true nature of sexuality, a taboo subject at that time, and gives shape to a literary character like no other.
