Here are 20 love letters and the appended commentaries--provided by some of today's most respected experts in the field of social science and early 18th-century life and letters--chronicling the course of a fictional homosexual relationship between an older lord and his young lover. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in gender, sexuality, deviance, and homosexuality, Love Letters Between a Certain Nobleman and the Famous Mr. Wilson reveals specific practices among gay men, including places of assignation; "camping"; various forms of sex talk; an internal, coded language among gay men; and the intrigue undertaken to avoid discovery.
