Shand-Tucci, Douglass The Crimson Letter: Harvard, Homosexuality, and the Shaping of American Culture
0312198965 / 9780312198961; In a book deeply impressive in its reach while also deeply embedded in its storied setting, bestselling historian Douglass Shand-Tucci explores the nature and expression of sexual identity at America's oldest university during the years of its greatest influence. This book follows the gay experience at Harvard in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing upon students, faculty, alumni, and hangers-on who struggled to find their place within the confines of Harvard Yard and in the society outside. Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde were the two dominant archetypes for gay students of the later nineteenth century. Oscar Wilde was the Oxford-trained aesthete whose visit to Harvard in 1882 became part of the university's legend and lore, and whose eventual martydom was a cautionary tale. The core of this book, however, is a portrait of a great university and its community struggling with the full implications of free inquiry. The Crimson Letter therefore tells stories of great unhappiness and manacled minds, as well as stories of triumphant intellect and fulfilled promise. 403 pages, including notes, notes for illustrations, an index, and 16 pages of photographs and drawings. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
