Praise for THE MALE HOMOSEXUAL IN LITERATURE: A Bibliography Ian Young's 1982 The Male Homosexual in Literature: A Bibliography is an outstanding work of careful research and dedication. -- Michael Bronski in Pulp Friction Basic to anyone doing extensive research in the field. --Vector (San Francisco) An invaluable tool for all study of male homosexuals. The four essays appended to the list make it still more valuable ... an indispensable adjunct to any collection of literature or subjects which draw upon literature.'' --Readers Quarterly This second edition is not just the honing of an already sharpened blade but its transformation into a double-edged weapon ... An essential reference for any student of gay literature. -- Gay News (London) This bibliography would be most useful in correcting the effects of retrospective bias in reviewing, distribution, or collection building on any academic collection -- Choice Every library which serves persons interested in gay male themes in literature (and this means just about every public and academic library!) needs this bibliography. -- American Reference Books Annual
