Nineteenth Century Writings on Homosexuality collects together original documents about same-sex desire in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. This comprehensive collection ranges widely both generically and chronologically, including prose, poetry, fiction, history and polemic from 1810 to 1914. Containing a general introduction, section headnotes, a bibliography of primary and secondary source material, and sections on The Law, Science, Love, and Sex, this book is extraordinarily well researched.
Chris White includes writing on trials and scandals, censorship and homophobia, cultural and personal history, love and friendship, lesbianism, aestheticism and decadence, sexual tourism and colonialism, cross-class desire, sodomy and sadomasochism. Bringing together for the first time in one volume a wide range of primary source material, this fascinating book includes many texts unavailable outside very specialized academic libraries.

Nineteenth-Century Writings on Homosexuality: A Sourcebook
I liked it, I didn't love it.
I picked this up for the blurb by Josh Kilmer-Purcell on the cover.
This book promised hilarious and didn't really deliver. There were some amusing stories by the author. Part of what I liked about it was the South America part, I have no real idea of day to day life there and no real intention to visit, so that was interesting.
Some of the less good parts were the drug use, which was very casual, and the vanity of the author. There were moments where he had an emotional connection, but far more where he relied on his youth and looks.
Overall I don't know that the author comes off that well, and this is from his point of view, so was it worse in real life? When we treated his boyfriend badly and then ripped his favourite Casper shirt, I was kind of glad I don't know him personally.
I get that we all do drugs and are a little self-absorbed when young, but I don't really need to relive that.
