- Title
Qu(e)ercus robur: Orlando and the oak tree.
- Authors
Roe, Ëpha
- Abstract
This essay provides an analysis of Virginia Woolf's novel "Orlando" from a queer ecological perspective. It explores the symbolism of the oak tree in the novel and its connection to both physical and poetic forms, as well as its representation of dualist identities. The essay also discusses how the character of Orlando challenges traditional notions of gender and sexuality, and how Woolf's portrayal of nature aligns with queer ecological frameworks. The text includes references to specific scenes and quotes from the novel, as well as mentions of the artist Agnes Questionmark and their performances that explore similar themes.
