What is Gay Men’s Literature in the Twentieth Century about?

In addition to an extensive opening chapter, analysing the assumptions of conventional literary criticism, there are individual chapters on Cavafy, Forster, the First World War poets, Genet, Williams, Mishima, Baldwin, Orton, Isherwood, Holleran, and Leavitt.
