This paper is an attempt to examine domestic violence in lesbian relationships, and the modern response to it, in a social and historical context. I chose to examine domestic violence within lesbian relationships in an attempt to look at violence in relationships outside the context of male and female.

Faulkner remarks, “It is in poetry and the novel that Modernism can first be most clearly discerned […] developments in drama followed a different course” (21).
