Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania (1870) is a novel by
Bayard Taylor. Written toward the end of Taylor’s career as a
prominent travel writer and poet, Joseph and His Friend: A Story of
Pennsylvania has been recognized by scholars as the first gay novel
in American literary history. “When they were seated side by
side, and Joseph leaned his head back on the supporting arm, while
the train moved away with them, he felt that a new power, a new
support, had come to his life. The face upon which he looked was no
longer strange; the hand which had rested on his heart was warm
with kindred blood. Involuntarily he extended his own; it was taken
and held, and the dark gray, courageous eyes turned to him with a
silent assurance which he felt needed no words.” During a train
derailment, Joseph Aster sustains minor injuries and his helped by
a kind stranger named Philip Held. Regaining his senses, Joseph
feels an unspeakably strong spiritual and physical connection with
his savior. As they become inseparable friends, Joseph’s home
life begins to suffer as his wife Julia asserts control over their
finances, often to the benefit of her wealthy family. When tragedy
strikes, Joseph has no one to turn to but Philip, a man he has
grown to love more than anything in the world. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Bayard Taylor’s Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania
is a classic work of queer literature reimagined for modern
readers.
