Hannah Roche reinterprets three major modern lesbian writers, showing how literary and affective romance played a crucial yet overlooked role in the works of Gertrude Stein, Radclyffe Hall, and Djuna Barnes. The Outside Thing is a significant rethinking of the interconnections between queer writing, lesbian living, and literary modernism.
