Influential LGBTQ+ Works of the Nineteenth Century
No Customer Reviews
The nineteenth century brought sweeping changes, from industrialization to social reform movements, yet queerness remained taboo. Often at significant personal risk, a brave subculture of writers, artists, and thinkers explored themes of gender, sexuality, and identity. Ranging from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's horror novella Carmilla, which pioneered the lesbian vampire trope, to Edward Carpenter's Homogenic Love and Its Place in a Free Society, this original anthology shows how six authors represented the queer community. Selections include "Calamus" by Walt Whitman, Cecil Dreeme by Theodore Winthrop, An Italian Garden: A Book of Songs by Agnes Mary Frances Robinson, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Together, these excerpts from essays, fiction, and poetry offer valuable context for contemporary discussions fundamental to the early emancipation of homosexual rights.
