About this listen
 Dive into one of the most groundbreaking works of LGBT literature from early 20th-century America. In Bertram Copes Year, we follow the journey of Bertram Cope, a young college instructor in his early twenties, who finds himself the object of affection for both men and women of various ages. Author Fredric William Clampett Fuller faced significant challenges in crafting a narrative that would resonate without risking the ire of publishers, leading him to self-publish this trailblazing novel. Although it may leave modern readers with some questions about the characters true feelings, its impact on the discourse surrounding homosexuality in literature cannot be overstated. This pioneering work, the first by a prominent American author to focus solely on gay themes, paved the way for future discussions in literary circles. (Introduction by James K. White)Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Art Social Sciences
