From the battlefields of the First World War and to the streets of bohemian Paris, The Well of Loneliness recounts her passionate search for love and fulfilment.
Radclyffe Hall was born in 1880. After an unhappy childhood, she
inherited her father's estate and from then on was free to travel
and live as she chose. She fell in love and lived with an older
woman before settling down with Una Troubridge, a married sculptor.
Hall wrote many books but is best known for The Well of Loneliness,
first published in 1928. She died in 1943 and is buried in Highgate
Cemetery in London.
Maureen Duffy was born in 1933 and educated at Kings College
London. She became a full-time writer in the 1960s, and has since
written numerous screenplays, poetry and novels. A lifelong
campaigner for gay rights and animal rights, Duffy is also
president of the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society.
