Are all of these Archduchesses and Princesses real people, or is Woolf just making them up and commissioning portraits of them: because I swear if it’s the latter this book is getting five stars because that’s hilarious! Love her writing so far, especially the breaking of the fourth wall and everything about the narrative voice in general. Beautiful language; flows nicely.

Love the social commentary here. London life is getting a bit dull for my tastes, though, compared to the action before. Hopefully the 19th century will spice things up!

The Lady of Purity, Lady of Chastity, and Lady of Modesty walk into a bar. Apparently they’re not welcome—trumpets sound so odiously to their presence. Orlando needs them not.

Okay I researched online and it’s the later. Apparently the cover art is just her lover Vita dressed in historical wear (whom Orlando is based on). I love both the absurdity of the lengths she went for this novel and how it also illustrates the absurdity of noble court systems and prestige bought by portraits (which, we see, can be faked) and interminable lists of belongings. Already really really loving this novel!!
