Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Marriage Below Zero (1889) is a novel by Alan Dale. Recognized as one of the first English language novels to openly depict homosexuality, the novel is a poignant study of the institution of marriage and the policing of desire in Victorian England. Rejected by contemporary critics as “unconventional” for its depiction of “monstrous forms of human voice,” A Marriage Below Zero would later earn Dale a reputation as a pioneering author whose exploration of homosexual romance, however tragic its consequences, set the stage for generations of artists to come. “He reddened slightly. ‘Captain Dillington always enjoys himself,’ he said quietly. ‘He is very happy in society." [...] ‘How rarely you find two really sincere friends,’ I remarked, rather sentimentally. ‘The present time seems to be wonderfully unsuited to such a tie.’ ‘That is true’—very laconically. ‘I think there is nothing so beautiful as friendship,’ I went on, with persistence. ‘You have heard of Damon and Pythias,’ he said quickly, reading me like a book. I blushed deeply and was then furiously angry with myself. ‘I don't mind,’ he went on. ‘Make all the fun of us you like.’” Referring to the ancient Greek story of Damon and Pythias, whose names became synonymous with ideal male friendship, Elsie shows herself to be rather naïve regarding the nature of Arthur Ravener’s relationship with Captain Dillington. Despite this lack of clarity, Elsie Bouverie finds herself attracted to the handsome young man, and soon they are married. As she begins to grow suspicious about his sexual appetites, she hires a private investigator to follow the two friends, unwittingly welcoming tragedy into their lives. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alan Dale’s A Marriage Below Zero is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Cohen, novelist, playwright, and the controversial drama critic for Hearst newspapers. Born in Birmingham, England in 1861, Dale immigrated to the U.S. to pursue a career in journalism. In the 1890s, he pioneered the "flippant school" of theatrical journalism, becoming the most feared and famous critic in America. His numerous novels include Jonathan's Home (1885), An Eerie He and She (1890), A Moral Busybody (1894), and A Girl Who Wrote (1902). He died in 1928.

This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 1908 cultural and historical study of homosexuality titled The Intersexes: A History of Similisexualism as a Problem in Social Life, Edward Irenæus Prime-Stevenson includes a section on homosexual juvenile fiction, perhaps the first attempt to identify a body of children’s literature about male homosexuality in English. Known for pioneering the explicitly gay American novel for adults, Stevenson was also one of the first thinkers to take seriously the possibility and value of homosexual children, whom he called "young Uranians." This book takes as its starting point Stevenson’s catalog of homosexual boy books around the turn of the century and offers a critical examination of these works, along with others by gay writers who wrote for children from the mid-nineteenth century through the end of World War I. Stevenson’s list includes Eduard Bertz, Howard Sturgis, Horace Vachell, and Stevenson himself—to which Horatio Alger, John Gambril Nicholson, and E.F. Benson are added. Read alongside major developments in English- and German-language sexology, these boy books can be understood as participating in the construction and dissemination of the discourse of sexuality and as constituting the figure of the young Uranian as central to modern gay identity.
