Jonathan to Gide: The Homosexual in History

Front Cover
Vantage Press, 1964 - Gay men - 751 pages
"Jonathan to Gide brings together for the first time in a single volume the names and biographies of over 300 famous men, all of whom have played important roles in political or cultural history. Saint and murderer, emperor and poet, general and artist, they have only one thing in common aside from their fame-they have all been cited in one or another responsible printed work as having been homosexual or homoerotic. The group includes those alleged to have been actively homosexual, occasionally homosexual, bisexual or completely sublimated. The source for the homosexual allegation, explicit or implicit, is given in each case, generally with specific page reference. The group runs the gamut from the noblest type of sublimated individual like Jesus, Washington or Michaelangelo to such villainous characters as Gilles de Raiz, Titus Oates or the Marquis de Sade" -- Publisher description
