Excerpt from Lads' Love Dear Correspondents, Free and Unsolicited, I send you at once my apology and epistle general in the form of a Dedication to this little book. For years it has been your habit to write me, sometimes to praise, oftener to blame. You have informed me that your great-aunts cannot be expected to approve of certain passages in my works. This has indeed grieved me, but not so much as when you patriotically send me the postage stamps of your native countries - which (I tell it you once for all, and in the name of all my fellow-craftsmen who share with me your favours) do not frank letters of reply from our land to yours, owing to some unfeeling prejudice on the part of our British Post-Office.

Capra and Graziosi intervene in contemporary debates about classics and its relation to revolutionary ruptures, nationalist movements, and identity politics today. They begin with The Neoplatonists, an explicit love story posing as the work of an imaginary ancient Greek author, but actually written by the Neapolitan revolutionary and classical scholar Luigi Settembrini (1813-1876). Offering the first English translation of the tale—which, because of its celebration of homosexuality, long remained censored and unpublished—they read it in the context of Settembrini's life, scholarship, and revolutionary politics. Drawing strength from his legacies, Capra and Graziosi go on to tackle the nostalgias of post-truth politics today, demonstrating the queer, reparative potential of various strands of classical scholarship. On the basis of archival research, combined with literary and philosophical analysis, they argue that a commitment to social justice and an investment in the study of Greco-Roman antiquity can—and even should—be rooted in egalitarian, embodied, and joyous forms of love. Classics, Love, Revolution: The Legacies of Luigi Settembrini offers a reassessment of Italian homosexuality, insurgence, and scholarship, while telling a moving story of love and resilience along the way. Postclassical Interventions aims to reorient the meaning of antiquity across and beyond the humanities. Building on the success of Classical Presences, this complementary series features shorter-length monographs designed to provoke debate about the current and future potential of Classical Reception through fresh, bold, and critical thinking.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Excerpt from The Greater Love IN the latter part of the sixth, and early in the seventh decade of the nineteenth century, in the night school of the Duane Street Lodging House for boys, in the City of New York, there was a lad who went by the name of Shinar. This boy did not lodge in the house; he lived in Mulberry Street. Shinar was not his legal name; indeed, the boy had no legal name - no name derived by right from his father since Shinar had no father that either he or anybody else had ever heard of. He was born in that under world where people cannot be so particular about their parents, but must take life as it comes to them, without knowing or caring from whom it comes.

Excerpt from Cousin Phillis: A Story of English Love T is a great thing for a lad when he is I first turned into the independence of lodgings. I do not think I ever was so satis fied and proud in my life as when, at seven teen, I sat down in a little three-cornered room above a pastry-cook's shop in the county town of Eltham. My father had left me that afternoon, after delivering himself of a few plain precepts, strongly expressed, for my guidance in the new course of life on which I was entering. I was to be a clerk under the engineer who had undertaken to make the little branch line from Eltham to Hornby.

Excerpt from Tom Bowline and Jack's the Lad Anchor Jack. What say you, boy, would you turn a traitor to your crew, and doom the existence of braver men 7 what would you do? Tom. Join the good king's ship and be a royal sailor, with the title of king upon me. Anchor Jae/c. We would rather see patriotism than gal lantry. The one cannot be counterfeited; the other can. If you wish to be a king's sailor, change your name to Caution, and let the air. Of cheerfulness ever pervade your every employment, for, like music, it sweetens toil. As a kingsman to please it is not so necessary to say as to leave unsaid. Obedience is your first duty and with a cheerful countenance salute your Officers. From the mysteries of the sea the veil is seldom to be drawn; from the mysteries of love and romance, no, never! You are standing on a deck unknown, veiled in mystery, and so am I. Should I raise the veil both of us are lost, for like you I am but a Red Rock disguised in the uniform of the king who shipped me. Tom. Your example is a most powerful teacher, one by which a sailor can be irresistibly moulded to the true and good.
