Welsh writers invited to revisit banned LGBTQ+ classic


Welsh writers are being invited to take part in a new literary project that aims to reimagine a controversial character from one of the most famous novels in LGBTQ+ history.

Publisher Parthian Books has launched an open call for expressions of interest for Reimagining Mary Llewellyn, an anthology of short stories that will revisit the character of Mary Llewellyn from Radclyffe Hall’s 1928 novel The Well of Loneliness.


The collection will be edited by Elizabeth English, senior lecturer in English literature at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and is due to be published in 2028 as part of the international research project 100 Years of The Well of Loneliness.
