Description
Bisexual, Dame of the British Empire (1969). Romantic novelist and playwright, whose stories revolved around her home county of Cornwall. Notable works include 'Jamaica Inn' (1936), 'Frenchman's Creek' (1941) and Rebecca' (1938). Became reclusive in her later years and focussed on non-fiction and biography, often attributed to the suppression of her attraction toward women by her homophobic father and society.
