Our Three Selves  -  Michael Baker

A life of Radclyffe Hall

KORTE INHOUD

Radclyffe Hall remains today the most famous of British lesbians - above all for the novel "The Well of Lonelyness", which was banned as 'obscene' in a sensational court case in 1928. Her life story, however, is less well known, though she was a leading figure in the colourful homosexual subculture of the 1920s and 30s, and widely connected in the literary world. In this first comprehensive biography, Michael Baker draws upon such unpublished material as letters, diaries and essays, as well as on her novels and poems. He throws fresh light on this remarkable woman, and on he two major love affairs with Mabel Batten and Una Troubridge, who together with Radclyffe Hall made up the 'Three Selves' of the title.
