Gay and lesbian themes in literature theory

[(Anonymous)]

A question to the academically inclined people of FS: Are there any good publications about how LGBT themes evolved in literature? Like how in the early 20th century books with gay and lesbians couldn't have happy endings, when and how that changed, receptions of LGBT themed books, theories on how LGBT-themed media was influenced by the culture of the time, etc. I read a few interesting articles about the New Woman movement and how the portrayal of female characters changed around the 1900s, it got me curious about queer characters, but I don't really know where to start looking.

Ummmm don't know, but try The Celluloid Closet as a film.

I think if you search "LGBT themes in 20th century literature" you'll find lots of books, articles, blog posts, and bibliographies.

The "Further Reading" and the "External Links" on the wiki page might also be helpful

The first lesbian novel with a happy ending (SHIT, sorry about spoilers!) was The Price Of Salt, and you should read it just because it's AWESOME. Like, divorced from all LGBT sociopolitical context, it's a sweet, scary, sad love story that'll keep you turning the pages.
