A Lad’s Love is a novel written by Arlo Bates and published in 1887. The story revolves around the life of a young boy named Dick Percival, who is sent to live with his uncle in a small town in Maine. Dick is a sensitive and artistic boy who struggles to fit in with the rough and tumble boys in the town. However, he soon finds solace in the company of his cousin, Tom, who shares his love of poetry and art.As Dick grows older, he begins to realize that his feelings for Tom go beyond friendship. He is torn between his love for Tom and the societal norms that dictate that such feelings are wrong. The novel explores themes of same-sex love, societal expectations, and the conflict between personal desires and societal norms.A Lad’s Love was one of the first novels to depict same-sex love in a sympathetic light. It was a groundbreaking work that challenged the prevailing attitudes of the time towards homosexuality. The novel has since become a classic of LGBTQ literature and is considered an important work in the history of queer literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
