Seller's Description:
Very good. Hardcover reprint. This copy has the correct ISBN matching the 1975 Arno Press reprint of the 1949 original. 135 pages. No marks or writing in book. Bound in sturdy cloth covered boards. The author took her pen name from the title of her own book, which is largely autobiographical. The author was Lady Dorothy Strachey Bussey, a fringe associate of the Bloomsbury Group, of which her brother Lytton Strachey was a founding member. Her novel was published by The Hogarth Press founded by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and is about her experience as a student at Les Ruches-a French finishing school for girls-describing the protagonist's crush on the headmistress Mlle. Julie (i.e., Madame Marie Souvestre). Bussy later taught Shakespeare at Allenswood in England, where Souvestre relocated. This reprint was published by Arno Press as a volume in their multi-volume Homosexuality collection.
