Our Three Selves: A Life Of Radclyffe Hall by Michael Baker

Our Three Selves: A Life Of Radclyffe Hall

Michael Baker

Radclyffe Hall remains today perhaps the most famous of British lesbians, above all for The Well of Loneliness, 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 1930s, and widely connected in the literary world. This first comprehensive biography draws upon such unpublished material as letters, diaries and essays, as well as her novels and poems. He throws fresh light on this remarkable woman, and on her two major love affairs with Mabekl Batten and Una Troubridge, who together with Hall made up the ‘three selves’ of the title.
