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!!
Gay Victorian Network! (and they were schoolmates)
EVERY GAY VICTORIAN AUTHOR KNEW EACH OTHER. And this list proves it. Making an evil map (a drag path if you will) and nobody can stop meeeeeeee.
This list has all time classics (Dorian Gray, Orlando, etc) and DEEP CUTS (Bertha, Loom of Youth, etc).
enjoyyyyyy <<<<<<3
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 in 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.
books in "why be happy when you could be normal?"
Books saved the narrator in "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal" by Jeanette Winterson. Books may yet save us. This is a list of all the books mentioned & referenced in the novel. Feel free to comment any that I missed
And This Your Living Kiss poetry curriculum
Read a Destiel fic so good I have to get into poetry now. This is every book (or author) I could find mentioned in the fic. Author: opal_bullets on ao3
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.
