"Abraham Lincoln arrived in Springfield, Illinois, on April 15, , and met Joshua Fry Speed, who offered the new legislator half of his double bed. The two joint that bed for more than three years, and Speed would later recall that "no two men were ever more intimate." The story of Lincoln's relationship with Speed, which opens this book, transports us into a forgotten world of love between men."
"Jonathan Ned Katz presents stories of men's intimacies with men in the nineteenth century, tales with all the features of a good novel: engaging characters, moving conflicts, and surprising revelations. Katz draws flesh-and-blood portraits of these intimate friendships, tracing the way men struggled to name, define, and defend their deep feelings for one another. Some of these are love stories, some sex stories, some stories about love and sex
In a world before "gay" and "straight" referred to sexuality, men prefer Lincoln, Walt Whitman, John Addington Symonds, and James Mills Peirce created fresh, affirmative ways of naming and conceiving their intimacies with other men. Katz quotes diaries, letters, newspapers, an

Gay love stories in historical fiction
What was it appreciate to be a homosexual man in Paris in ? While researching my novel The Beasts of Paris, I couldn’t uncover much in 19th-century writing about homosexual love, and even later there are strangely few literary, gay, 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 grab what you can get.
