Queer Between the Covers: Maud Allan
- Title
- Queer Between the Covers: Maud Allan
- Description
- Part of a larger book arts work called 'Queer Between the Covers', this book focusses on dancer Maud Allan, who famously performed ‘The Dance of the Seven Veils’ in Oscar Wilde’s Salomé. In a 1918 article entitled ‘The Cult of the Clitoris’, MP Noel Pemberton Billing falsely claimed Allan used her sexuality as a German collaborator. This book work uses paper folds to suggest revelation and secrecy.
