| biography:
| Writer, born in Bournemouth, Dorset, S England, UK. She began as a lyric poet with several volumes of verse, some of which have become songs, but turned to novel writing in 1924 with The Forge and The Unlit Lamp. Her Adam's Breed (1926) won the Femina Vie Heureuse and the James Tait Black prizes, but The Well of Loneliness (1928), which embodies a sympathetic approach to female homosexuality, caused a prolonged furore and was banned in Britain for many years. |
