But before Batten died in 1916, Radclyffe-Hall, known in private as 'John', had taken up with the second love of her life, Una, Lady Troubridge, who gave up her own creative aspirations (she was the first English translator of the French novelist Colette) to manage the household which she shared with 'John' for 28 years. Batten and Radclyffe Hall entered into a long-term relationship. In 1907, she met a middle-aged fashionable singer, Mrs Mabel Batten, known as 'Ladye", who introduced her to influential people. In the drawing rooms of Edwardian society, Marguerite made a small name as a poet and librettist. Mother on the south coast of England perhaps battered Radclyffe Hall, whose father, a playboy, known as 'Rat', meanwhile ignored her. People in Great Britain and the United States originally banned The Well of Loneliness (1928), obscene novel of British writer Marguerite Radclyffe Hall.
