I don't care much for Michael Jensen myself--Frontiers is much too overwrought and melodramatic for my tastes. I do, however, second the recommendations for As Meat Loves Salt, Lord John and the Private Matter, and The Catch Trap. Other recommended gay historical fiction:
The God in Flight -- Laura Argiri Regeneration -- Pat Barker In the Absence of Men -- Philippe Besson The Notorious Dr. August -- Christopher Bram The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay -- Michael Chabon While England Sleeps -- David Leavitt Farewell to my Concubine -- Lillian Lee At Swim, Two Boys -- Jamie O'Neill The Charioteer -- Mary Renault The Last of the Wine -- Mary Renault Fire from Heaven and The Persian Boy -- Mary Renault The Book of Salt -- Monique Truong Memoirs of Hadrian -- Marguerite Yourcenar
