## Description

desertcart.com: Orlando (Annotated): A Biography: 9780156031516: Woolf, Virginia, Hussey, Mark: Books

Review: A glorious evisceration of the social norms comprising gender - An absolutely magnificent book about a young nobleman in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who, by mid-book somehow transforms into a woman. This florid and eloquently-written novel closely examines the nature of sexuality, gender and changing social values over several centuries. Not a transgender book, per se, but a glorious evisceration of the social norms that comprise our gender. Those who have an interest in the transgender arena will particularly appreciate and revel in the author's cutting insights. The irony and humor in this book is absolutely brilliant. Stick with it through the first half as it all comes together to make incredible sense.
Review: This is a very good edition of the Waves with intro - This is a very good edition of the Waves with intro., notes and the interludes in italics. The introduction is very helpful in getting one oriented to the book's unique features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A glorious evisceration of the social norms comprising gender
*by S***L on February 18, 2011*

An absolutely magnificent book about a young nobleman in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who, by mid-book somehow transforms into a woman. This florid and eloquently-written novel closely examines the nature of sexuality, gender and changing social values over several centuries. Not a transgender book, per se, but a glorious evisceration of the social norms that comprise our gender. Those who have an interest in the transgender arena will particularly appreciate and revel in the author's cutting insights. The irony and humor in this book is absolutely brilliant. Stick with it through the first half as it all comes together to make incredible sense.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very good edition of the Waves with intro

This is a very good edition of the Waves with intro., notes and the interludes in italics. The introduction is very helpful in getting one oriented to the book's unique features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A note about this annotated edition
*by E***E on May 31, 2013*

The product description does not state the notes in this edition are END NOTES, not foot notes. The text does not indicate at all which terms/etc. are annotated. The notes are listed by page number at the end of the novel. Basically, you need to flip to the back of the book to see if there are any notes for each page. I found the notes themselves helpful but inconvenient to use. The playwright Sarah Ruhl (two-time Pulitzer finalist, 2006 recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship) recently released a stage adaptation of this novel. In her introductory notes, she recommends the Penguin Classics version annotated by Sandra M. Gilbert.
