<p><b>"What this charming, moving and fascinating collection proves is that the [letter] form itself - a scribbled note, a declaration of love, an outpouring of passion, a bitter word - has always been with us." - Mark Gatiss</b><br><br>A good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel today have been shared by lovers long gone. In <b><i>The Love That Dares</i></b>, queer love speaks its name through a wonderful selection of surviving letters between lovers and friends, confidants and companions. <br><br>Alongside the more famous names coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers. Together, they weave a narrative of queer love through the centuries, through the romantic, often funny, and always poignant words of those who lived it.<br><br><b>Including letters written by:</b><br>John Cage<br>Audre Lorde <br>Benjamin Britten<br>Lorraine Hansberry <br>Walt Whitman<br>Vita Sackville-West<br>Radclyffe Hall<br>Allen Gin
