Winner of the 2003 Silver Medal for Gay/Lesbian Fiction, ForeWord Magazine

Imre is one of the first openly gay American novels with a happy ending. Described by the author as "a little psychological romance," the narrative follows two men who meet by chance in a cafe; in Budapest, where they forge a friendship that leads to a series of mutual revelations and gradual disclosures. With its sympathetic characterizations of homosexual men, Imre's 1906 publication marked a turning point in English literature.

This edition includes material relating to the novels origins, contemporary writings on homosexuality, other writings by Prime-Stevenson, and a contemporary review.


Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'I love thee... once more helpless, and therewith hopeless!--but this time no longer silent, before the Friendship which is Love, the Love which is Friendship.'Considered one of the first examples of the 'homosexual' novel, Edward Prime-Stevenson's Imre: A Memorandum takes the reader to the almost Arcadian capital of Hungary, where a seemingly chance encounter brings together Englishman Oswald and dashing Hungarian officer Imre. From the initial stages of their friendship, there is no doubt on Oswald's part that this is love at first sight. But will Imre return Oswald's feelings? Will they dare to let their guard down-the figurative 'Mask' that has become second nature to them? Heavily indebted to the newly established classificatory science of sexualities, Imre offers a thrilling and heart-rending account of the relationship between two super-virile men at the turn of the twentieth century.This edition presents an authentic version of the text that preserves the author's orthographical and other eccentricities, and opens the door to the sexological subtext that propels the plot. Also included is one of Prime-Stevenson's dramatic short stories, 'The Lady with the Madonna-Face', in which Imre returns.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
