English Literature: Nineteenth Century
From its beginning, the nineteenth century in England had a purposeful homosexual literature of considerable bulk, both male and female, though it was fettered by oppression.
English Literature: Renaissance
Homosexuality is writ large in English Renaissance literature, but its inscription is only rarely direct and unambiguous.
English Literature: Restoration and Eighteenth Century
Throughout the Restoration and eighteenth century, sodomitical characters were both presented and pilloried in literature.
English Literature: Romanticism
Since homosexuality was severely persecuted during the Romantic period, writers who treated the subject more or less positively were forced to encode it or leave it unpublished and were themselves frequently forced into exile.
English Literature: Twentieth-Century
Homosexuality, both male and female, has a rich, divergent, and increasingly open expression in the literature of the twentieth century.
Erotica and Pornography
Erotic and pornographic works have been written in many cultures since ancient times and recently have flourished with the relaxation of censorship.
Field, Michael [Katherine Bradley (1846-1914) and Edith Cooper (1862-1913)]
Lesbian lovers Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper, writing as Michael Field, collaborated on a number of plays and eight volumes of verse, many of which had lesbian contents.
Firbank, Ronald
Ronald Firbank's witty, campy novels mock the dominant homophobic, materialistic culture of early twentieth-century England.
Forster, E. M.
One of the finest English novelists of the twentieth century and a tireless defender of humane values, Forster deserves a special place in the gay and lesbian literary heritage.
Gale, Patrick
English novelist Patrick Gale draws on his own varied background to explore gay men and lesbians in complex, often dysfunctional family units set within the worlds he finds most meaningful: London, Winchester, and Cornwall.
