Some sleeping dogs are better left lyiing,
By Orin Hargraves (Westminster, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pages Passed From Hand to Hand: The Hidden Tradition of Homosexual Literature in English from 1748 to 1914 (Hardcover)
The editors have done a very good job unearthing literature with content of some interest to gay men from centuries past, but reading a lot of this stuff confirms the notion that much writing goes out of print (if it was ever in it) for a good reason: it was no good in the first place! Nearly everything worth reading from the point of view of real literary value, contemporary interest, or entertainment in this book (roughly, 20% of its content) is in fact still in print anyway, and the rest can surely only be of interest to serious students of gay literature. On a more positive note, the editors' introductions to the various pieces are erudite and a pleasure to read.
