Sexual Heretics : Male Homosexuality in English Literature from 1850-1900 Paperback / softback
Edited by Brian Reade
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Literature and Sexuality series
Paperback / softback
Description
The years between 1850 and 1900 were the vintage years of a discreet homosexual culture in England.
In this period, educational, personal and foreign influences all contributed to the establishment of a trend expressed in the works of authors such as John Addington Symonds, Walter Pater, and A.E.
Housman, and in those of lesser writers, now largely forgotten.
This book, first published in 1970, is an anthology of English prose and verse, either homosexual in tone or providing a vehicle for homosexual emotions, and in several examples even overtly and experimentally frank.
The book includes an introduction by Brian Reade explaining the network of friendships and associations which underlay this development and tracing some of its origins.
