As a reader whose experience with classics is mostly limited to the 19th century, I decided to give myself an intro to modernism by reading some 20th century lesbian literature, as many of the well known and influential names of the modernist period were lesbians, women who loved women, or otherwise gender non conforming women. The relaxed sexual morality of the interwar period among the artistic elite coupled with the rejection of victorian rigidity may go part way to explaining this, and after having listened to the podcast The Feminist Present reading The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, the crossover between gender non conformity and modernism drew me in. I hope you enjoy my early early explorations of this genre.

Hello! Welcome to my Scottish Highlands and Islands travel guide. Recently I travelled to Scotland on public transport, and explored some of the most beautiful parts of the UK using only public transport. The West Highland Line is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in the world, the Isle of Skye is stunning, and the Knoydart peninsula is the last wilderness in the UK. It was a wonderful trip, and I hope it inspires you.
