The famous legend that Queen Victoria denied
the existence of lesbianism may not be true,
but for hundreds of years love and sex between
women in Britain has been largely downplayed
or invisible. Now, for the first time, the stories of
women who desired other women are told in a
revealing narrative sweep of
500
years, from the
cross-dressers of Tudor England to the Lesbian
Avengers of twenty-first century activism.
Over those years, British attitudes towards
women's same-sex desire underwent many
transformations and women found many
different ways to express their love for each
other. Negotiating historical events (such as
the outbreak of wars or changes in property law),
the 'female husbands' of the eighteenth century,
the 'Romantic Friends' of the nineteenth and
the 'New Women' of the twentieth all forged new
fesbian identities.Their shared history is made
up of individual voices. Some are famous, such
as Radclyffe
Hali,
whose novel The Well of
Loneliness was banned for obscenity, orVirginia
Woolf,
whose love affair with Vita Sackvilie-West
produced Orlando. Others are little-known, but
equally eloquent. The recent discovery of the
sexually explicit diaries of theYorkshirewoman
Anne Lister has thrown a totally new light on
early Victorian lesbian lives.
Illustrated with a fascinating selection of images,
impeccably researched and brilliantly readable,
A
Lesbian History of Britain is a ground-breaking
achievement the new standard history of fesbian
desire in Britain. |
