Michael, |
A
Life of Radclyffe Hall.
Radclyffe
Hall remains today the most famous of British lesbians
- above all for her novel '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 30s, and widely connected
in the literary world.
In
this first comprehensive biography, Michael Baker draws upon such unpublished
material as letters, diaries and essays,
as well as on her novels and poems.
He throws fresh light on this remarkable woman, and on her two major love
affairs with Mabel Batten and Una Troubridge,
who together with Radclyffe Hall made up the 'three selves' of the title. |

Mary Ed), |
Conversations
between Women Writers.
Collection bringing
together the older generation of Virago's
writers with their younger successors, who interview them, creating a
wide-ranging picture of 20th-century women's
writing.
Novelists, journalists,
poets and historians recall their childhoods and early years, and tell
how the challenges and demands of everyday life interacted with their
literary endeavour.
Their creativity
is not confined to writing, but spills over into the essence of their
lives, into personal relationships, family life and politics.
The voices in this
book evoke a variety of cultures, classes and backgrounds and include
such writers as Maya
Angelou, Kathleen Dayus, Dorothy Hewett, Molly Keane, Rosamond Lehmann,
Paule Marshall, Naomi Mitchison, Grace Paley, Mary Stott and
Eudora Welty talking
of why and when, how and where they wrote.
Representing not only
the range of writers published by Virago, but the tremendous variety of
women's writing in this century, these memories
fascinate and enlighten us in what they tell of the process of creativity.
They make a valuable testament, since for some of these authors - including
Phyllis Shand and
Dora Russell - the
interviews in this book are their last recorded statements on their life
and work.

Millicent, |
The
Life and Work of Jane Bowles.
During
her extraordinary life, Jane Bowles (1917-1973) produced a small but remarkable
collection of work: the novel 'Two Serious Ladies',
her play 'In the Summer House', and a book of stories, all characterised
by her wonderful elliptical way of seeing things.
She
was born to a well-off Jewish family and drifted in New York
Bohemian circles in the 1940s, having
affairs with women, making her first ventures as a writer, falling
in love with and marrying the writer-composer Paul Bowles.
When they moved to Tangier in the 1950s,
Jane's magnetism and unique style attracted such friends as Tennessee
Williams, Libby Holman, Cecil Beaton
and Truman Capote.
But
under the glittering surface there was a growing anxiety
that eroded her confidence in herself and her art. A passionate, destructive
attachment to an Arab woman; a writer's block
that couldn't be resolved - these were the undoing of woman of immense
vitality and talent, who died after a long illness, burnt
out after fifty-six, in a convent in
Spain.
Jane
Bowles is far less well known than she deserves to be. Millicent Dillon's
splendid biography - sympathetic, deeply informed, and scrupulously truthful
- will introduce this extraordinary writer to a wider audience. |

For
Sylvia Townsend Warner the diaries she kept from 1927 to 1978 became the
equivalent of an intimate correspondent to whom she could describe and
ponder the details of her life.
From her thoughts
on love, friendship, writing and death to the antics of her cats and her
plans for her garden, she gives us a self-portrait replete with anecdotes
and rich observation.
Above all, her diaries
are a poignant account of her great love affair with Valentine Ackland,
an affair that brought both anguish and liberation. |
