Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf, OrlandoAbstract
Shakespeare is present in Virginia Woolf's writing in critical essays, novels, letters, and diaries. Woolfian criticism focuses on the mentions of the bard to prove how decisive his work was in the formation of the writer in an endless absence-presence. Woolf established a dialogue with Shakespeare to update and shape her own literary project. The aim of this article is to analyze the effects of that presence in Orlando, one of the most famous modernist fictional biographies. In the novel, Shakespeare is shrouded in mystery, like an invisible ghost, a character who is not spoken of, he is only sensed.
