The Love That Dares: Letters of LGBTQ+ Love & Friendship Through History

As everyone knows, the power of a love letter can speak volumes across the centuries. Not only that, but it reassures the recipient that the agony and ecstasy they might be feeling today was once shared by others’ decades or even centuries before. In The Love That Dares the queer voice rings loud and clear in a collection of surviving letters between lovers, friends, confidants, and companions. Alongside the more famous names (including Vita Sackville-West, Benjamin Britten, Lorraine Hansberry, & Radclyffe Hall), are beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers all of which tell a story that is romantic, funny, warm, and incredibly poignant.
