What is Chase Of The Wild Goose (homosexuality) about?
Late 18th century Ireland. Two women from noble families Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby meet and form an intense romantic friendship. Against the will of their families and overcoming the many obstacles placed before them they leave Ireland and finally settle at Plas Newydd, North Wales. It is here they achieve fame and notoriety; it is here they become the Ladies of Llangollen. Chase of the Wild Goose is the forgotten lesbian novel of the interwar era an amiable companion to Woolfs time-travelling Orlando and joyful antidote to the misery of The Well of Loneliness. A historical fiction dedicated to the Ladies of Llangollen, first published by the Hogarth Press in 1936, Gordons Chase celebrates the search and psychic need for lesbian foremothers, and delights in finding them.
