Book Reviews of My Dear Boy: Gay Love Letters Through the Centuries
Book Review: An astounding and moving historical document
Summary: 5 Stars
Gay Love Letters book is astounding and moving in so many ways. I'm impressed with the level of scholarship that Rictor Norton did to bring us this collection.
Beautiful letters from the Han dynasty in China, amorous missives from Henry James, medieval priests, Michaelangelo, Tchaikovsky, Alexander Hamilton (yes, that one) Lord Byron, Whitman, and the list goes on and on through the ages to more contemporary figures like Allen Ginsberg, Cocteau, Pasolini and others.
This is a treasure. Norton's introduction is a well-written presentation of the historical approach and perplexing nature of dealing with Same-sex love letters from different eras.
