In this seminar, we will explore how literature serves as a testament to resilience and defiance, examining different literary forms such as letters, novels, poems, short stories, and memoirs. We will delve into the lives of gay male writers in the late Victorian era and the expressive strategies they employed to subvert societal norms. We will investigate the socio-political struggles that defined the period, shedding light on the clandestine nature of gay culture. Our journey will also include an examination of how emerging fields such as sexology, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, and even archaeology around the turn of the century influenced perceptions and constructions of homosexuality, identity, love, and liberation.
