I'm looking for an article in which a critic uses he/him pronouns for Stephen Gordon in 'The Well of Loneliness'. I've read it somewhere but can't find it. Can anyone help?

Radclyffe Hall
November 16, 1928 - An obscenity trial began for Radclyffe Hall's novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Great Britain banned it for its treatment of lesbianism, though it contained no explicit sexual references.

While Dark Habits' notable-queer-people-with-star-signs is rather behind, this episode comes just in time for #SpookySeason! Megan is joined by Thomas to talk about #Leo lesbian literary pioneer, #paranormalinvestigator and (disappointingly) fascist sympathizer - #RadclyffeHall.

In this portrait, novelist Radclyffe Hall (Marguerite Antonia Radclyffe-Hall) is portrayed with short, cropped, dusty brown hair, wearing a tailored midnight black jacket and coffee brown trousers, with a cravat and monocle. Believing herself to be a man trapped in a woman’s body, Hall cultivated a sophisticated masculine appearance whilst proclaiming her defiance of convention. At the time this portrait was painted, she stopped using her birth name, Marguerite preferring the name “John,” while adopting another family name, “Radclyffe,” for her books. Hall took a great professional risk with her semi-autobiographical 1928 novel “The Well of Loneliness” in which she portrayed a central lesbian relationship in order to gain acceptance for those she described as “my people.” The book sparked great controversy, was immediately banned, despite protests from Virginia Woolf and other writers, and was not reprinted in Britain until 1949. Hall previously published five volumes of poetry under her full name Marguerite Radclyffe-Hall. She received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for the 1926 novel Adam's Breed. At a time when homosexuality was generally illegal, Hall had fallen in love with a woman, Una Elena Vincenzo (née Taylor), Lady Troubridge. The pair lived together openly until Hall’s death in 1943. Una, Lady Troubridge bequeathed this wonderful Buchel portrait to the National Portrait Gallery in 1963. Charles Buchel (Karl August Büchel) was born in Mainz, Germany, but came to England as a child. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools and, in 1898, he began to work for the actor-manager, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, with whom he was closely associated for the next 16 years. He painted many portraits of Tree, as well as posters, programmes and other theatrical works. As a result of this connection Buchel became well known in theatrical circles and painted many leading stars of the day and also illustrated several theatrical magazines.

You lay so still in the sunshine, So still in that hot sweet hour— That the timid things of the forest land Came close; a butterfly lit on your hand, Mistaking it for a flower. You scarcely breathed in your slumber, So dreamless it was, so deep— While the warm air stirred in my veins like wine, The air that had blown through a jasmine vine, But you slept—and I let you sleep.

Radclyffe Hall estaría muy contenta de ver la cubierta que 🎨 Carla Berrocal ha diseñado para la nueva edición de 'El pozo de la soledad' (traducción de 📖 Gloria Fortún). Hemos visto solo un boceto y nos hemos quedado 💘 🤩✨.

“The Well of Loneliness” (1928) by #RadclyffeHall apparently entered the #publicdomain in 2024: web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicd... Anyone know where to find a copy of the 1st edition by Jonathan Cape online? @archive.org and Google Books don’t seem to have that specific edition. We’d like to quote it.

Lesbokirjallisuuden klassikko "Yksinäisyyden kaivo" lisätty WLW-arkistoon. Tämä kirja oli aika ristiriitainen itselle, mutta se on kuitenkin historiallisesti merkittävä. Oletko lukenut jo?
