Overview

Throughout history, literature about love between men has reflected contemporary ideas, prejudices, and discourses surrounding homosexuality. This book examines the literary images that have persisted over time in Western literature; it's populated by the schoolmates, sailors, soldiers, workers, police officers, and convicts that appear in books by a diverse set of authors, including Shakespeare, Proust, Foucault, and many others.
