This is an incredibly comprehensive collection of queer subtext (and text) throughout time and genres, and provides a great starting point to look further into some of the selected works. In parts, I would've perhaps appreciated deeper analysis or context of time period and the author's circumstances; while I understand and value the approach of letting the selected passages speak for themselves, some more than others would have benefited from a little more elaboration, to me.

A great opportunity to read some historical gay fiction I probably wouldn't have had the chance to learn about otherwise.
