Gay Through Literature
my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.
*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

An Insight Into the First World War
A collection of memoirs, fiction, and other writings written about WWI and its effects by people who lived and experienced it. Warning: some views expressed in these books (eg. racism, sexism), though considered "acceptable" at the time, are absolutely not - please engage with caution. Please suggest any other books (caveat that they must be English or English translation) you can think of - I'm always looking to add more perspectives. Find a catalogue of this list in the comments.

Gay Male Literature
My personal recommendations of gay male literature. Typically, these are books centred around being a gay male, but may also include works from gay men.
