Editor's Note:
An intimate and inspiring collection of letters revealing some of the greatest queer love stories in historyA good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel in the 21st century have been shared by lovers long gone. This is all the more true of LGBTQ+ love letters: love affairs and relationships that, until very recently, had to survive within sealed envelopes and behind closed doors. In The Love That Dares , queer love speaks its name through the words of lovers from years gone by. Alongside the more famous names, the Woolfs and the Wildes, coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers, giving us an insight into queer love outside of the spotlight of fame or fortune. These letters give us a glimpse into the passion and courage it took to continue a gay relationship in times when it was at best improper, and at worst illegal. Enlightening introductions to each set of letters give readers an idea of the historical context in which they were written.Including letters written by:Oscar Wilde & Sir Alfred ‘Bosie’ DouglasEleanor Roosevelt & Lorena HickokVirginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-WestEmily Dickinson & Susan GilbertHerman Melville & Nathaniel HawthorneAllen Ginsberg & Peter OrlovskyGertrude Stein & Alice B. ToklasAngelina Weld Grimké & Mamie BurrellJohn Cage & Merce CunninghamMargaret Mead & Ruth BenedictAudre Lorde & Pat ParkerHarvey Milk & Joe Campbell
