The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note (eBook)
Edward Prime-Stevenson (1858–1942), an American author, made notable contributions to late 19th and early 20th-century literature with his pioneering work in homosexual literature and his writings on various subjects under multiple pseudonyms. His body of work encompasses fiction, travel writing, essays, and music criticism, reflecting a versatile literary palette. His seminal work, 'The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note,' serves as a significant example of his non-fiction foray into the esoteric practices of cartomancy, offering a structured system for fortune-telling through cards which is reflective of the era's fascination with the occult. Perhaps one of his most renowned novels is 'Imre: A Memorandum,' penned under the pseudonym Xavier Mayne, which is among the earliest explicit American gay novels that addressed homosexual love and desires in a direct, sympathetic, and authentic manner. This novel, alongside 'The Intersexes: A History of Similisexualism as a Problem in Social Life,' established Prime-Stevenson as a brave and avant-garde figure in queer literature. His astute observation of social mores and elegant prose places him within a tradition of writers who deftly navigate both the visible and unseen currents of their times. Educated in law but dedicated to the pen, Prime-Stevenson's literary legacy offers an invaluable window into the complexities and challenges faced by homosexual men during a period when such subjects were considered taboo.
