 | While England Sleeps
A departure from Leavitt's usual domestic novels, WHILE ENGLAND SLEEPS chronicles the affair of English writer Brian Botsford and Communist activist Edward Phelan. Botsford regards homosexuality as a mere phase; his ambivalence about the affair drives Phelan to enlist in the war against Franco in Spain. Then, in sudden decisiveness, Botsford pursues the affair, and Phelan, into war. This novel became the center of a literary contretemps when Stephen Spender charged that the book was little more than a thinly disguised and salacious retelling of parts of his own 1951 memoir WORLD WITHIN WORLD.
