Underneath the Bough: A Book of Verses


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(2.5 stars; 3 reviews)

This is a collection of poems by Michael Field, the pseudonym of Katharine Harris Bradley and Edith Emma Cooper. Those poems are of interest not only because they are beautiful examples of aesthetic poetry, but also because many of them contain homosexuality as a theme. The joint authors lived openly as a lesbian couple for forty years around the turn of the 20th century. - Summary by Carolin (1 hr 17 min)
