Gay love stories in historical fiction
What was it fancy to be a same-sex attracted man in Paris in ? While researching my novel The Beasts of Paris, I couldn’t detect much in 19th-century writing about homosexual love, and even later there are strangely few literary, homosexual, period-set love stories (shout outs to Sarah Waters and Mary Renault), so I’m pushing the boundaries of both ‘love story’ and ‘historical’ here. All I found in 19th-century accounts is an occasional minor character – e.g. in Zola’s Nana – or documentary reports of police raids, or porn (thank you, Jack Saul). I delved into novels, paintings and photographs as well as history. And if my historical period stretches from Ancient Greece to the early s – well, you accept what you can get.

The world of gay relationship novels is, if not quite as vast as the world of m/f romance, still quite expansive. Are you looking for a royal-commoner romance? A fake marriage? Something shadowy and gritty, or something that&#;s the literary corresponding of a basket of puppies? Whatever it is that floats your adoration boat, I guarantee there&#;s an m/m romance out there that will satisfy. In making this list, I&#;ve highlighted as many #ownvoices authors as workable. There&#;s a misconception that the only people who write m/m romance are straight women, and while it&#;s true that some of the biggest names in gay romance are straight women, there are also dozens of gender non-conforming men writing fantastic same-sex attracted romance. But because of the biases and shortcomings of publishing (and a slew of other complicated factors), it&#;s straight women who often get the most recognition in the genre. This is not to say that linear women can&#;t, or shouldn&#;t, write gay romance novels. You&#;ll find several (including some of my absolute favorites!) on this list. You&#;ll also find many wonderful books by gay men that deserve the same praise and recognition. I&#;ve tried to craft this list as wide-ranging as poss .
