Some Tame Gazelle is Barbara Pym's first novel, originally published in 1950.
The title of the book is taken from the poem "Something to Love" by Thomas Haynes Bayly,[1] and the work of other English poets is frequently referenced during the course of the story. First started during Pym's period studying at Oxford University, it contains many sly references to those she knew there.
