About This Item
John Murray, 1997. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. She's best known as the author of The Well of Loneliness, "the one lesbian novel everyone has heard of", feminist scholar Sally Cline wittily remarks. But in her lifetime (1880-1943), Radclyffe Hall was a popular writer who deliberately courted controversy with her fifth novel, banned as obscene in 1928 after one of the 20th century's most notorious literary trials. Cline devotes valuable critical attention to Hall's other books, and to a flamboyant personal life (a virtual who's who of homosexual Britain) that was at odds with her political and religious conservatism. A biography of Radclyffe Hall, this work examines the life of the writer; her works, including "The Well of Loneliness", which was taken to trial and banned for obscenity; her religious beliefs; and her ideas on sexuality, including her tormented triangular relationships. Hardback with dustjacket - 1987 - good condition, 0-7195-5408-X , exlibrary, hasn't seen much action - - . Isbn 071955408X.
