Beschreibung

This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1924 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Unlit Lamp' is Hall's first novel about a young girl who dreams of studying medicine and moving to London with her friend, but struggles to leave her emotionally dependant mother. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

Über den Autor

Radclyffe Hall was an English author best known for her groundbreaking works exploring themes of sexuality, gender identity, and social norms. Born in 1880, she gained prominence in the early 20th century, particularly for her novel ""The Well of Loneliness,"" which centers on the struggles of a lesbian protagonist. Another significant work, ""The Unlit Lamp,"" delves into the life of Joan Ogden, a young woman navigating her identity amid societal expectations and familial pressures.
Hall's writing often challenged conventions, addressing the complexities of love and identity. She was an influential figure in the LGBTQ+ literary canon, remembered for her candid portrayals of same-sex relationships at a time when such topics were often taboo. Her work contributed to the discourse around gender and sexuality, providing a voice for those marginalized by society. Hall passed away in 1943, leaving behind a significant body of work that continues to inspire and provoke thought today.
