Abstract.Woolfcalled Orlando a "joke," an "escapade," and criticshavetakenherat her

word. Althoughan enormous amount has been writtenabout Woolf, the novel that
celebratesherlove forVita Sackville-West
tendsto be ignored,dismissedas an anomaly,
or explainedas somethingotherthan what it is. But the thingswe joke about are often
thethingswe care about too muchto riskseriousness.The bold and dazzlingachievement
