Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania

by Bayard Taylor

Novel

Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania presented a special attachment between two men and discussed the nature and significance of such a relationship, romantic but not sexual. Critics are divided in interpreting Taylor's novel as a political argument for homosexual relationships or an idealization of male spirituality.
