Lawrence, H.D., Siegfried Sassoon, Rupert Brooke, Lawrence of Arabia, and Wilfred Owen. Hale's introductions to the authors are to the point and sometimes witty, specifying why the author or work is included in the volume and sometimes providing a larger biographical scope. The first volume to this anthology contains literature from antiquity through the 18th Century. A larger book titled A Survey of Gay Literature combines both volumes. ..........Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA.
