1st Edition
1902
A book of histories, references, sources, quotes, and so on of ancient and modern queer relationships. He cites the Platonic ideal of romantic love (42) and gives his wish that it may return to modern practice with an updated belief in "woman's equal part" (43). The change of values and family structure in the Christian centuries pushed chivalric expressions of love-friendship to private instead of public life (98-99). Meanwhile, he cites Eastern poets as having praised love-friendship independent of Greek or Christian thought (109), then concludes with quotations from Walt Whitman (177-181).
