================================
Don Leon
In 1833, the London Courier printed the following account:
Captain Henry Nicholas, who was one of the unnatural gang to which the late Captain Beauclerk belonged, (and which latter gentleman put an end to his existence), was convicted on the clearest evidence at Croydon, on Saturday last, of the capital offense of Sodomy; the prisoner was perfectly calm and unmoved throughout the trial, and even when sentence of death was passed upon him. In performing the duty of passing sentence of death upon the prisoner, Mr. Justice Park told him that it would be inconsistent with that duty if he held out the slightest hope that the law would not be allowed to take its severest course. At 9 o’clock in the morning the sentence was carried into effect. The culprit, who was fifty years of age, was a fine looking man, and had served in the Peninsular war. He was connected with a highly respectable family; but, since his apprehension not a single member of it visited him.
This incident gave birth to one of the most important pieces of English literature: “Don Leon”.
A first-person narrative poem published in 1833 under the name of Lord Byron. It was the first overt literary defense of homosexuality in English.
It opens with a scene said to be inspired by Captain Nicholls!
At the time of its writing, homosexuality and sodomy were capital crimes in Britain, and the nineteenth century saw many men hanged for indulging in homosexual acts.
Lord Byron
It is not known who wrote it, although there are several theories.
It should be noted that even today scholars feel safe in debating who authored the piece but not in discussions of its premise.
From internal dating, it was probably written in the 1830s.
It was published in 1866 by William Dugdale, who appears to have believed initially in the attribution to Byron as he attempted to use it to blackmail Byron's family.
It was not reprinted until a limited edition in 1934 and was immediately seized under obscenity laws; the edition was ordered destroyed, although several copies escaped and come up every so often on the rare book market. The 1934 edition was reprinted in facsimile by the Arno Press in 1975.
In 2017 Pagan Press published a new edition of Don Leon & Leon to Annabella. All surviving editions, from Dugdale to Fortune Press, were collated for the text. This is the first edition to include critical material in addition to the texts of the poems: a Foreword by editor John Lauritsen, essays by Louis Crompton and Hugh Hagius, correspondence between Joseph Wallfield and G. Wilson Knight, and a bibliography. The original notes to Don Leon contain many passages, some of them long, in Latin, Greek, German, French, and Italian; all of these have been translated into English.
This is a must for any student of LGBT or human rights.
The extended poem is well constructed and extremely well written, showing evidence of a classical education and knowledge of the processes of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, as well as an intimate knowledge of the poet Lord Byron's life, including his youthful homosexual adventures on his travels 1809–11 and his romantic friendship with the beautiful choirboy John Edlestone whilst at University of Cambridge. This has led to the supposition that it may have been written by an intimate friend of Lord Byron's – however not by one who was concerned about his posthumous reputation. It was not common knowledge that the poet was what we would now call bisexual until the twentieth century.
Don Leon is unique in English literature. It is a powerful outcry against injustice, a moving and erudite defense of male love, and an account of Byron's sexuality, which on the whole has proven to be true. Among neglected masterpieces, Don Leon heads the list -- not only neglected, but vilified and rigorously suppressed.
It is great literature. It is also pornographic, by earlier standards. The Pagan Press edition is complete and unsanitized, with added critical material. This is the great gay epic, a powerful reading experience and a treasure trove of information for gay scholars.
"Don
Leon is certainly an important, key document of early gay dissent."
-- Ian Young, poet.
"You really cannot overstate the
importance of Don Leon.”
"Clearly Don Leon will be an
invaluable resource, not only because all the Latin phrases etc. are
translated into English." -- Rictor Norton, author
