📘 Pages Passed from Hand to Hand by Mark Mitchell

Pages Passed from Hand to Hand assembles twentieth‑century texts that circulated before the emergence of the modern ``gay fiction'' genre and before broader social tolerance allowed overt exploration of homosexual themes. The collection, edited by Mark Mitchell, provides readers with a unique window into how gay narrative voices were expressed and received in a more constrained cultural climate. It serves both as an engaging read and as a scholarly resource that enriches understanding of the historical lineage of homosexual representation in English and American literature.

First publish date: 1998

Genre: Literary Fiction/Classic Literature
