Descripción

AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EDITION OF 27 LETTERS, ALMOST ALL OF WHICH ARE HOMOEROTIC MISSIVES FROM THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM TO KING JAMES I, BELIEVED TO BE HIS LOVER. 4, xlii, 40 pp. 11 of the letters had been printed before, with modernized spelling and often bowdlerized; the other 16 are printed here for the first time. ALL 27 LETTERS APPEAR HERE WITH THE ORIGINAL SPELLING, AND COMPLETELY UNEXPURGATED. (See David M. Bergeron, "King James & Letters of Homosexual Desire", Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 1999, chapter 5.) EDITION LIMITED TO ONLY 51 COPIES. 8vo. Fore- and lower edges uncut, top edge gilt. Attractively bound by J. Larkins (signed) in 19th-century half morocco and marbled boards. Some wear to extremities of binding. INTERNALLY FINE AND BRIGHT. An early and important monument in the history of homosexuality in Great Britain.
