"Novels by significant Modernist authors can be described asromans à clef, providing
insight into restrictions governing the representation of female homosexuality in
the early twentieth century. Nair argues that key novels of the period represented
same-sex desire through the encryption of personal references directed towards coterie
audiences."--Publisher's website
