Title: Love That Dares Letters of LGBTQ+ Love & Friendship Through History
Author: SMITH RACHEL; BARBARA VESEY

An intimate and inspiring collection of letters revealing some of the greatest queer love stories in history

\"What this charming, moving and fascinating collection proves is that the [letter] form itself - a scribbled note, a declaration of love, an outpouring of passion, a bitter word - has always been with us.\" - Mark Gatiss

A good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel today have been shared by lovers long gone. In& The Love That Dares, queer love speaks its name through a wonderful selection of surviving letters between lovers and friends, confidants and companions.

Alongside the more famous names coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers. Together, they weave a narrative of queer love through the centuries, through the romantic, often funny, and always poignant words of those who lived it.

Including letters written by:

John Cage

Audre Lorde

Benjamin Britten

Lorraine Hansberry

Walt Whitman

Vita Sackville-West

Radclyffe Hall

Allen Ginsberg
