Bücher von Ian Young

The present supplement includes titles overlooked in the Bibliography Second Edition, plus works written before the 1981 cut-off date but published later, including works published for the first time in book form such as the original text of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, posthumous works (the diaries of Christopher Isherwood and Joe Orton), unexpurgated editions (James Jones’ From Here to Eternity), and newly translated classics (e.g. Marcilio Ficino's Alcibiades the Schoolboy; the letters of Marcus Aurelius; John Henry Mackay's novel Fenny Skaller). The current study should be regarded not as a separate work but rather as a second, supplementary volume containing additional material. The two volumes together constitute a preliminary guide to classic (i.e. pre-1980's, pre-AIDS) gay and bisexual male literature.     Ian Young is a Canadian collector, publisher and chronicler of gay literature.

Ian Young’s bibliography has served as a basic guide to English-language works of fiction, drama, poetry and autobiography concerned with male homosexuality or having male homosexual characters. Entries include titles published through 1980. Works of primary importance (those in which homosexuality is a major aspect or which are otherwise of particular relevance) are marked with an asterisk for the convenience of researchers and collectors. Works are identified by author, title, place of publication, publisher, and date. For easy reference, entries are numbered and a title index is provided at the end of the main text. Five highly-acclaimed essays on gay literature by lan Young, Graham Jackson and Dr. Rictor Norton, including essay on gay publishing, round out the listings. A title index of gay anthologies completes the work.     Uniquely acclaimed upon initial publication in 1982: “An essential reference for any student of gay literature” – Gay News (London); “An indispensable adjunct to any collection of literature or subjects which draw upon literature” – Readers Quarterly     This edition is reset, but identical to, the classic and definitive 2nd edition, available in print for the first time in decades.
