Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape, 1928. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, second issue with the corrected "Whips" on page 50, line 13. Bound in publisher's original dark blue cloth lettered in gilt on the spine; lacking the dust jacket. Very Good with light lean to binding, light soiling, light edge and surface wear to cloth, light cigar smoke odor to pages. Hall's book faced a wave of suppression as the plot follows the life of a lesbian, openly portraying her "sexual inversion" as natural during a time when homosexuality was not openly discussed.
Sinopsis
The Well of Loneliness is a 1928 lesbian novel by the English author Radclyffe Hall. It follows the life of Stephen Gordon, an Englishwoman from an upper-class family whose "sexual inversion" (that is, homosexuality) is apparent from an early age. She finds love with Mary Llewellyn, whom she meets while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I, but their happiness together is marred by social isolation and rejection, which Hall depicts as having a debilitating effect on inverts.
