Virginia Woolf s thought provoking novel Orlando is considered the longest and most charming love letter in literature . It elatedly exemplifies the character of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf s close friend Vita Sackville-West. A dense novel which moves through three centuries, with each a transformation of the protagonist, from a man to a woman, portraying gender identity, expression and conformity. In every situation and adventure, Orlando carries with him the manuscript of his poem The Oak Tree . The poem. serves as a subject to brace his heart, the one thing which bridges all his selves together, from beginning till ending.

One of the leading British writers and intellectuals of the twentieth century Virginia Woolf was born in London on 25 January 1882. She began publishing her work to both general and critical acclaim in her early twenties and became associated with Bloomsbury Circle, an influential group of English modernist writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists in early twentieth century. Best remembered for the lyrical quality of her prose Woolf wrote many novels and essays all bearing the modernist trends of the Circle. Her works have been translated in over 50 languages around the world. However, she was not very lucky in health matters and suffered from the bouts of mental illness throughout her life. She perished by drowning during one such attack on 28 March 1941.
