Virginia Woolf is the author of "Orlando: A Biography," which was later adapted into the 1992 feature film "Orlando" starring Tilda Swinton and written/directed by Sally Potter. The film, which was nominated for an Oscar, is being re-released by Sony Pictures Classics on June 23 in New York and Los Angeles.

When Virginia Woolf met Vita Sackville-West, a fellow author, in 1922, it was the start of a relationship, which was to last for almost twenty years. Orlando was first conceived as a fantasia upon Vita and her world – what Vita's son and biographer Nigel Nicholson called “the longest and most charming love letter in literature.”
