WOOLF, Virginia

WOOLF, Virginia
(1882-1941)
   UK writer famous for novels whose structures sensitively emblematized the forms of inner consciousness. Of sf interest is Orlando: A Biography (1928), whose androgynous hero/heroine survives fromElizabethan to modern times, changing SEX more than once, and coming ultimately to represent a vision of the nature of England itself.
