I modestly propose a compilation of gay literary works spanning the breadth of written history. Nothing exhaustive , but a random sampling throughout the ages.
Picking up this suggestion, we shall gather the Gay literary works in this thread. The intention is to compile all sorts of Gay literature which you think is valuable for historic or literary reasons.
Rules: 1) Please post the
author, the
title, and iformation about
where the work can be found (ISBN, website address),
copyright status.
2) Texts can be posted directly to this thread (in chapters, if it's very large). Otherwise please send good scans or photocopies to the Foundations
address).
3) After the submission, the piece in question will be taken into the list and its text will be diditalized.
4) For a better overview, the "processed" posts will be subsequently moved to archive.
5) Textes in languages other than English may be also suggested, however, some translation arrangements would be helpfull.
Something more? Just say. :wink:
