          <note>In a footnote to a letter dated 4 November 1928 written by Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf, the editors state that Harold Nicolson returned to Berlin on 15 November after spending time in England where his father died on 5 November.  This establishes the date range for his reading experience. 
I have classified Orlando as biography as it was based on the life of Vita Sackville-West.  However it covers a long period of time and the main character is a man. </note>
