The nineteenth century brought sweeping changes, from industrialization to social reform movements, yet queerness remained taboo. While societal norms often dictated secrecy, a brave subculture of writers, artists, and thinkers explored themes of gender, sexuality, and identity. Ranging from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's horror novella Carmilla, which pioneered the lesbian vampire trope, to Edward Carpenter's advocacy for gay rights in Homogenic Love and Its Place in a Free Society, this Dover original anthology of essays, fiction, and poetry presents literary insights into the ways six authors represented the queer community, often at significant personal risk. Other selections include "Calamus" by Walt Whitman, Cecil Dreeme by Theodore Winthrop, An Italian Garden: A Book of Songs by Agnes Mary Frances Robinson, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Together, these works offer valuable context for contemporary discussions fundamental to the early emancipation of homosexual rights.

Theodore Roosevelt's History of the United States

Theodore Roosevelt's History of the United States

Daniel Ruddy

HarperPerennial
2011
nidottu
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas about the nation's past and his own times can be found sprinkled throughout his voluminous writings, but these pearls of thought (as one of his book reviewers described them in 1888) have never before been pulled together in one volume. Now, through the nimble editing of Daniel Ruddy, "Theodore Roosevelt's History of the United States" provides readers with Roosevelt's unique view of American history from the Revolution to the early twentieth century. An astute historical observer, Roosevelt was a hanging judge who did not hesitate to render harsh verdicts about leaders and events from America's past. His razor-sharp opinions cut to the core, capturing the essence of obscure and prominent figures alike: Andrew Jackson was not more than half civilized; John Tyler a politician of monumental littleness; and, William McKinley had no more backbone than a chocolate eclair. Roosevelt had no hesitation about criticizing his contemporaries, either, especially Woodrow Wilson, who he believed was rotten through and through. What emerges from these pages is, of course, as revealing about Roosevelt as it is about the Unites States; it's a wonderful new angle on both American history and on one of the country's most energetic, brilliant and entertaining men.
