The heavenly Cupid. An anthology of Boy-Love (Edwin Lutyens)

Edwin Lutyens' The heavenly Cupid. An anthology of Boy-Love was published in 2005 in twenty html files on the laplumeverte site's english literature section. This monumental anthology encompasses 2,600 years of boylove and related literature, through samples of over 140 authors from all cultural and geographical backgrounds. Each sample is briefly put into context, introduced by a short biography, and sometimes commented upon. Edwin Lutyens is a pseudonym, possibly referring to an admiration for the homonymous architect (1869-1944).
