"Palatable Poison gathers together significant new essays from across the spectrum of critical responses, and will reignite debates about The Well of Loneliness. This anthology gives us the best of both worlds: a vivid history of the reception of the novel and a reassessment of it in the light of new developments in criticism and theory." — Suzanne Raitt, College of William and Mary
