Description du livre
The Classic Collection of Radclyffe Hall (5 Books) gathers the most significant works of Radclyffe Hall, one of the pioneering voices in twentieth-century literature. This illustrated edition presents a rich and varied portrait of Hall’s literary vision, blending explorations of identity, social struggle, and human resilience with her characteristic psychological depth.
At the center of the collection is The Well of Loneliness, Hall’s groundbreaking and controversial depiction of lesbian identity and social ostracism, a landmark in LGBTQ literary history. It is joined by Adam's Breed, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and explores themes of isolation, spiritual longing, and personal transformation.
The collection also includes A Saturday Life, The Unlit Lamp, and The Forge, works that examine human ambition, moral conflict, and the struggle for authentic living in the face of societal expectations. Each novel reflects Hall’s precise, evocative prose and her interest in the inner lives of complex characters.
