Friendship in the classical world was celebrated as among the
highest human achievements: nothing was more likely to lead to the
divine than looking for it in the eyes of a friend. In exploring
the complexities of male-male relations beyond the simple labels of
sexuality, Queer Friendship shows how love between men has a rich
and varied history in English literature. The friend could offer a
reflection of one's own worth and a celebration of a kind of
mutuality that was not connected to family or home. These same-sex
friendships are memorable because they give shape to the novels of
which they are a part, and question the assumption that the love
between friends is different from the love between lovers. Queer
Friendship explores English literary friendship in three ways: the
elegiac, the erotic, and the platonic, by considering a myriad of
works, including Sterne's Tristram Shandy, Tennyson's 'In Memoriam
A. H. H.', and Dickens' Great Expectations.
