Hi! I've read that you know a lot of "queer historical novels" and i'm really interested!! could you tell me some titles? Or like ALL the titles ahaha i've always wanted to find books with good insights on queer history but i never seemed to find good ones! Thank you so much xx
hi there! happy to help. i’m by no means an expert but i can share what i’ve read with you :)
in my bookshelves i have:
Mary Renault - i really can’t recommend her highly enough! she does queer Classical history - her trilogy about Alexander the Great is beautiful and gay as heck. i’d also recommend the Last of the Wine, which is about queer Athenians doing Athenian things. The Charioteer is a book by her that i’ve just started, about gay men in WWII.
Christopher Isherwood’s stuff is REALLY GOOD imo- he wrote A Single Man, the Berlin Stories and more
Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin - v important series of nine novels about queer people in 70s/80s San Francisco, some of the first books to deal with AIDS as a subject matter
Maurice by E.M Forster (OR watch the movie w/a young, naked and handsome Robert Graves)
Orlando by Virginia Woolf - ONE OF THE BEST THINGS nd explores gender and sexuality throughout history. a really cool book.
Sarah Waters - lesbians throughout history, Fingersmith is the most famous, she also wrote Tipping the Velvet, which is about drag kings, and The Night Watch, which is about sad queers in post-WWII Britain
Oranges are Not the Only Fruit - Jeanette Winterson
the Line of Beauty, about a gay man at Oxford in the 80s, and the Swimming-Pool Library, about a slutty British aristocrat in 1980s London - tbh everything Hollinghurst writes is queer as heck
Death in Venice - Thomas Mann - lowkey queer but a classic.
the Picture of Dorian Grey obvs - gotta love Wilde
the Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller - i don’t personally like the way she portrays Achilles & Patroclus’ relationship, but that’s just me - i know a lot of ppl really enjoyed this and it got them into Classical history, which is a great thing!
Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch by Christopher Harris (omg this is such a trashy book i love it tho)
Earthly Joys by Philippa Gregory (a secret fave) - this is a book about the gardener John Tradescant and how he falls HARD for the Duke of Buckingham, James I’s lover and the most beautiful man in Europe. read if you like 17th century Europe and gardening.
i’d really recommend the original short story of Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx, if you’ve not read it
anything by Yukio Mishima!! i’m reading Forbidden Colours atm
books i’ve not read yet but have had recced to me:
Patience and Sarah by Isabel Miller - lesbians in 19th America who enter into a Boston marriage
the Man who Fell in Love with the Moon by Tom Spaunbauer - about a bisexual Native American
Master Georgie by Beryl Bainbridge- about a bisexual English surgeon who gets involved in the Crimean War
A Dead Man in Deptford by Anthony Burgess - about Christopher Marlowe, i want to read this asap
At Swim, Two Boys by Jim O’Neill - gay Irish lads in 1916, against the backdrop of the Irish uprising against the British
also if you want books with good insights on queer history, i’d recommend reading some academic history books - some i’ve got are:
the Greeks and Greek Love - James Davidson
Same-Sex Unions in PreModern Europe by John Boswell - got this for like 2 quid on Amazon and it is so interesting
A History of Homosexuality in Europe by Florence Tamagne
Homosexuality in the Priesthood and the Religious Life by Jeannine Gramick- another really interesting Amazon find
Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality by John Boswell
Beloved and God: the Story of Hadrian and Antinous by Royston Lambert
I’ve also got some books on Sappho and Catullus that talk about their queerness, but they’re books of poems, not history books. Roman and Greek poets were queer as heck and i’m sure there are some great books about it - if not i’d better write some.
hope this helps you find some good books, and if anyone has any more recommendations, please add to the list! xx
When reading Faulkner…
Solar Bones by Mike McCormack
My sense of what was at issue was so clear to me it reached down into my very soul because, what really hung in the balance was the possibility that a good man [my father], through no fault of his own, but by way of received wisdom and immemorial faith, may have lived a good portion of his life warped in error and foolishness, misguided over the seas and if that was now shown to be the case then might not the same foolishness have been handed down to me some way or other - what’s bred in the dog coming out in the pup - and been responsible for some of the misdirections of my own life
Mike McCormac, Solar Bones (via 745pm)

Many poets, and all mystic and occult writers, in all ages and countries, have declared that behind the visible are chains on chains of conscious beings, who are not of heaven but of the earth, who have no inherent form but change according to their whim, or the mind that sees them. You cannot lift your hand without influencing and being influenced by hoards. The visible world is merely their skin. In dreams we go amongst them, and play with them, and combat with them. They are, perhaps, human souls in the crucible–these creatures of whim.
W.B. Yeats, “The Trooping Fairies” 1910 (via subversive-romance)
Finally finished my undergraduate dissertation~~
Well, if identity is only a game, if it is only a procedure to have relations, social and sexual-pleasure relationships that create new friendships, it is useful. But if identity becomes the problem of sexual existence, and if people think that they have to ‘uncover’ their 'own identity,’ and that their own identity has to become the law, the principle, the code of their existence; if the perennial question they ask is 'Does this thing conform to my identity?’ then, I think, they will turn back to a kind of ethics very close to the old heterosexual virility. If we are asked to relate to the question of identity, it must be an identity to our unique selves. But the relationships we have to have with ourselves are not ones of identity, rather, they must be relationships of differentiation, of creation, of innovation. To be the same is really boring. We must not exclude identity if people find their pleasure through this identity, but we must not think of this identity as an ethical universal rule.
Michel Foucault, “Sex, Power, and the Politics of Identity” (1984)
