The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

In honour of Pride Month 2026, we are delighted to present a selection of works by LGBTQ+ writers and artists. The title is derived from Lord Alfred Douglas's poem 'Two Loves', which appears as item no. 4, a presentation copy of his lyric poetry. Among the items in this catalogue you will also find Wilde's collected works, Proust's works and a collection of short stories by the journalist he challenged to a duel; Rimbaud illustrated with photographs by Mapplethorpe and Verlaine with illustrations of women drawn from Montmartre's nightlife; the most explicitly queer translation of Sappho since Renée Vivien's and a volume of Vivien's posthumous poetry; presentation copies from the likes of John Addington Symonds, Christopher Isherwood, and Colette; and much else.
