Román anglické spisovatelky, vydaný r. 1928, způsobil tehdy podobné pozdvižení, jako hlavní díla J. Joyce a D.H. Lawrence. Autorka, poučena výtěžky Freudovy psychoanalýzy, se pokouší vystihnout fyzickou i psychickou osamělostlesbické ženy, která je ve společnosti uznávající jen heterosexuální lásku bytostí vyvrženou, nechápanou a přinucenou skrývat své tužby. Svědomitou snahu R. Hallové o pravdivé a rozumějící vypodobnění ocenil i významný sexuologH. Ellis.

The well of loneliness : with a commentary by Havelock Ellis
Originally published in 1928, Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness is the timeless story of a lesbian couple's struggle to be accepted by "polite" society. Shockingly candid for its time, this novel was the very first to condemn homophobic society for its unfair treatment of gays and lesbians.

El Pozo de la Soledad
Historia de una muchacha cuyos padres habían deseado ardientemente un varón y no una hija. Cómo se propició su natural tendencia a la masculinidad, contribuyendo a torturar su adolescencia. Un género de amor condenado por la sociedad y hasta por la madre de la protagonista.
"Stephen is an ideal child of aristocratic parents - a fencer, a horse rider and a keen scholar, Stephen grows up to be a war hero, a bestselling writer and a loyal, protective lover. But Stephen is a woman, and her lovers are women. As her ambitions drive her, and society confines her, Stephen is forced into desperate actions. The Well of Loneliness was banned for obscenity when published in 1928. It became an international bestseller, and for decades was the single most famous lesbian novel. It has influenced how love between women is understood, for the twentieth century and beyond."--Jacket.

Attracted to girls and women from an early age, Stephen's masculine appearance is accentuated by her preference for men's clothing and unfeminine mannerisms.
