Description
The Well of Loneliness, a seminal work of gay literature, tells the story of Stephen, a tomboyish woman who struggles to come to terms with her attraction to women. Charting her romantic and professional adventures during the First World War and beyond, the novel sparked a furore on first publication in 1928 for its lesbian heroine.
Written by Radclyffe Hall, the novel was a pioneer work of gay fiction and has since been recognised as a landmark work of the genre. This Penguin edition includes a new introduction by Maureen Duffy, providing a fresh perspective on this important and influential novel.
Published in 1928, The Well of Loneliness is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that continues to resonate with readers today. With its unflinching portrayal of a lesbian heroine and its exploration of themes such as identity, love, and acceptance, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in gay literature and the history of the genre.
