Poetry
Teasdale, Sara
As reflected in her poetry, the strongest emotional relationships in Sara Teasdale's life were with women.
Tennyson, Alfred Lord
Although he was sexually attracted to women, Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote poetry suffused with homoeroticism, including the most beautiful homoerotic elegy in the English language.
Theocritus
The ancient Greek poet Theocritus is the first great voice in the homoerotic pastoral tradition in Western literature.
Thoreau, Henry David
In essays, journals, and poems, Henry David Thoreau recorded impassioned expressions of the beauty and the agony of love between men.
Tsvetaeva, Marina Ivanovna
A lesbian theme runs throughout the works of Marina Tsvetaeva, widely considered one of the four greatest twentieth-century Russian poets.
Uranian Poets
The Uranian poets, who lived and wrote from the close of the Victorian era to the middle of the interwar period, celebrated love for adolescent boys.
Verlaine, Paul
The poetry of Paul Verlaine celebrates both heterosexual and homosexual activity, including lesbian relationships.
Viau, Théophile de
The homosexuality of the French libertine Théophile de Viau must largely be inferred from his highly personal poetry.
Virgil
Virgil wrote approvingly of male love in many works, and his second eclogue became the most famous poem on that subject in Latin literature.
Vivien, Renée
Renée Vivien, who had many affairs with women, openly celebrated lesboerotic love in her poetry and dreamed of women-controlled spaces in an era when most women were still domestically confined.
