Summary:

The recent explosion of interest in gay and lesbian literature is well met by Vol. 2 of St. James Press' Gay & Lesbian Literature. Like its award-winning companion -- Vol. 1 was endorsed by the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Task Force of the American Library Association's Social Responsibilities Round Table -- Vol. 2 provides authoritative biographies, bibliographies and criticism on approximately 200 major authors of gay/lesbian literature, chiefly since 1900. International in scope, Gay & Lesbian Literature focuses on writings with gay or lesbian themes rather than on the sexual identity of the featured authors.
