Welcome to Litsy!

This really is a little book, but it's still interesting. It uses the British Museum's collections (with a little bit of help from the British Library) to discuss how same-sex desire has been portrayed in art and literature. It's not an exhaustive account, and many cultures leave no mark: I'd say it's best viewed as highlighting some interesting objects (and some of the lacunae where we can't say), rather than as any kind of complete narrative.

Rather short, but still. Carefully selected objects described with really well-chosen words. Great to take out of the book shelf from time to time just to have a look at it again.

Leafing through the book and already looking forward to reading it!
