Celebrating queer love in all its forms, this moving collection champions the richly passionate love letters, poetry, and journals of history's queer writers. Much of the love between queer people endures in their letters and writings because it had to be kept discreet and private for so long.

A compelling testament to the resilience of forbidden relationships, Queer Correspondence spans centuries and continents to showcase the hearts and minds of some of history's most celebrated writers. From the lyrical verse of Sappho and the poignant musings of Emily Dickinson to the fiery expressions of Oscar Wilde and Lord Byron, this carefully curated collection evidences the all-encompassing and defiant power of love in the face of adversity.

The works of writers such as Herman Melville, Gertrude Stein, and A. E.

Housman, are also featured, as well as revelatory letters from King James VI and I. Aiming to capture the diverse array of queer love stories throughout history, this volume of intimate, heartfelt writings immortalises the work of queer writers whose words continue to resonate and inspire.
