Although artists are nowadays able to be openly gay and to address homosexuality explicitly in their work, this book argues that it was the harsh climate of 1890-1930 that produced the most outstanding explorations of homosexuality. To support his argument, Meyers illuminates the character and creative process of a range of authors of the period, including Wilde, Gide, Proust, E. M. Forster and T. E. Lawrence, and analyses the sexual problems that were sublimated and transcended in their art. | Homosexuality And Literature by Jeffrey Meyers, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
