| Abstract | "The place is Graz, a city in Austria which was then, in the 1860s and 70s, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian crownland of Styria. For a time three unique writers made this city their home. The most prominent of these is a name known to many of us in the English-speaking world owing to one of his more piquant writings, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. The other two Emerich von Stadion and Emil Mario Vacano are less well known, even in Germany and Austria. This volume brings together three of their works of fiction, for the first time in English translation, that treat male same-sex desire and love." -- Introduction |
