Woodstock, NY: Overlook, 1998. This biography of one of England's most fascinating and enigmatic lesbians was written by the author of Lifting the Taboo: Women, Death, and Dying. The book is a Stated First Edition (and unless it's stated, it isn't) and has the appropriate Number line starting with a "1" to indicate First Printing. The biography's subject, Radclyffe Hall, was herself the author of the famous 1928 classic lesbian novel, The Well of Loneliness, which was greeted with outcries of shock, horror, and calls for banning by some, and embraced by many others as a sympathetic study of a woman who was born gay and the prejudice and suffering she endures. This highly praised biography of Hall's own life and loves is bound in black boards, with a black cloth spine, and gilt spine lettering. It contains photo inserts and Index. The book measures 6 1/4 by 9 1/4 inches and includes 434 pages. I've placed the dust jacket into a Brodart protective sleeve. . First American Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
