1928192836New York: Crosby Gaige 1928. Hilda Vaughan's copy of the signed limited edition True first edition number 208 of 800 copies signed by the author. This copy belonged to the Welsh writer Hilda Vaughan whom the Woolfs invited to dine on at least one occasion. Vaughan's works of realism set mostly in her native Radnorshire were the antithesis of Woolf's experimental style. Woolf particularly loathed the novels of Vaughan's husband Charles Langbridge Morgan accusing him "of wrapping up tame little reputable platitudes in words of twenty five syllables and thus posing and thus undermining the health of English letters. But I explode so easily against fiction that I have hardly any trust in my own vehemence" Letters p. 24. Her experience as organizing secretary of the Women's Land Army inspired Vaughan's depiction of working-class women in her novels. Her service also inspired the romance writer Berta Ruck who portrayed Vaughan in The Land Girl's Love-Story 1919. Vaughan's literary prestige gradually waned following her well-reviewed debut The Battle to the Weak 1925 though her contributions to Anglo-Welsh literature have since been posthumously reassessed. Her ownership inscription is on the front pastedown. This edition comprised 861 copies published nine days before the first trade edition issued by the Hogarth Press on 11 October. Inspired by Vita Sackville-West the novel was described by her son Nigel Nicolson as "the longest love letter in history". Octavo. Frontispiece with tissue guard 7 half-tone photographic illustrations including 3 of Vita Sackville-West as Orlando. Original black cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt publisher's device to front cover in gilt cream endpapers top edge gilt others untrimmed. With original glassine dust jacket. Housed in custom black quarter morocco folding box. Faint sunning to spine gilt mark to rear cover; glassine edges chipped but sound: a near-fine copy. Kirkpatrick A11a; see Woolmer 185.

The edition is limited to four hundred numbered copies for sale. "Orlando" has an unrivaled place in the history of English fiction. The last and most light-hearted of Woolf's three major novels it was begun in 1927 at the peak of her career and published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press in 1928. <br /> <br /> "Orlando" is perhaps the most imaginative some would say fantastical creation of this legendarily individualistic writer taking its reader on a journey across four centuries with a hero who comes of age as a titled country gentleman in Elizabethan times and ends as a prize-winning woman author in the nineteen-twenties. <br /> <br /> Diana Michener is a photographer known for images that are powerfully suggestive of narrative. Her photographs offer a new visual experience for readers of Orlando using friends relatives and found portraits of unknowns as models and costumes objects and landscapes to suggest historic periods and the passage of time. The photographer herself appears in several images in various guises and disguises. The photographs are informed by the story or run parallel independent but indebted to it for inspiration.<br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

"Orlando: a Biography 1928 celebrates Woolf's lover Vita Sackville-West as a man-woman switching gender to endorse the androgynous creative mind through the ages." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography "Virginia Woolf's Orlando 'The longest and most charming love letter in literature' playfully constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries the novel opens as Orlando a young nobleman in Elizabeth's England awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost. At the midpoint of the novel Orlando now an ambassador in Constantinople awakes to find that he is now a woman and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the novel ends in 1928 a year consonant with full suffrage for women. Orlando now a wife and mother stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women.

1928150565New York: Crosby Gaige 1928. First limited edition of Woolf’s immensely popular feminist classic one of only 800 copies signed by her in her characteristic purple ink. Octavo original publisher's cloth decorated in gilt top edge gilt engraved frontispiece portrait of Orlando as a boy illustrated with engravings. One of 800 numbered copies this is number 512. Boldly signed by Woolf on the verso of the half-title page. Typography by Frederic Warde. In fine condition. A very sharp example. Woolf is considered to be one of the greatest twentieth century novelists and one of the pioneers among modernist writers using stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Following her 1912 marriage to Leonard Woolf the couple founded the Hogarth Press in 1917 which published much of her work. Arguably one of Woolf's most popular novels Orlando describes the adventures of a poet who changes sex from man to woman and lives for centuries meeting the key figures of English literary history. Considered a feminist classic the book has been written about extensively by scholars of women's writing and gender and transgender studies and has been adapted a number of times for stage and screen.
