"Originally published in 2001 in Australia by Pan Macmillan Australia Pty Limited"--T.p. verso.

An award-winning writer examines the life and work of some of the greatest authors of the past two centuries, figures whose homosexuality remained hidden or oblique for much of their lives. Toibin looks both at writers forced to disguise their true experience on the page, and at readers who find solace and sexual identity by reading between the lines.
