Before the Closet: Same-Sex Love from Beowulf to Angels in America
Allen J. FrantzenDr. Erik Wade@SPaul_Madsen @ISASaxonists Well, it remains influential, so I wouldn't discount it. Worth noting that 20th-century scholars continue to say this, including Austin Poole (1955), Christopher Brook (1963), and Jack Lindsey (1974!). Allen Frantzen discusses this in his problematic Before the Closet book.

Sandman: Overture 30th Anniversary Edition
Neil GaimanDr. Erik WadeFunny how racist trolls are mad at Rings of Power for changing the "author's vision" by casting POC, but are ALSO mad at the Sandman series for casting POC, even though the author Neil Gaiman says that's what he wants. Maybe it's not about "the author's vision" after all. 🤔

Queering the Color Line: Race and the Invention of Homosexuality in American Culture
Siobhan B. SomervilleDr. Erik Wade@prosebforebros There's some stuff in Jack Halberstam's book Female Masculinity! I'd also recommend Siobhan Somerville's Queering the Color Line (which is more American-focused)! Sander L. Gilman's work is also key. Eve Sedgwick also has some good stuff, though some of it is a little earlier.
