Noel Streatfeild article

[liv]

I have spent the last few weeks trying to cram a lot of Hebrew for my upcoming exam, and trying to find somewhere to live in London, which is frustrating even when you're relatively well off.

Anyway, I recommend this very lucid essay on Noel Streatfeild by Prof Farah Mendlesohn: Noel Streatfeild, Hiding the Queer in Plain Sight. I know there's quite a few Streatfeild fans in my circle, and quite a few people know Farah, and even if you're not in either of those groups the essay is worth reading.

Thanks for the link!

Also, as always, congrats on spelling her name right. It really is *inordinately* difficult.

Of course Drs Smith and Jakes were an item. "We thought we should like to retire...We find we miss our teaching..."
