For being a play on the invention of love, Stoppard's handling of Housman as a maudlin love poet is tepid; and his portrayal of Wilde is akin to doing shots of amaro.I imagine that one of the reasons that this is not among the more often performed of Stoppard's plays is the fact that it contains so much Latin and Greek, and is peripherally about so many long-dead scholars known to few today. Meticulously blending together all of my interests into a witty, amusing, yet also heartbreaking piece: Stoppard has captured my heart. and i should maybe be ashamed that what my taste in literature comes down to is gay english snobbery, but...well, yes, in many ways my taste in literature is gay english snobbery.

pretentious homosexuality in oxford! Wonderful play about A.E. It is like exercise for me: writing is good for my heart. It is such an intricate play, interweaving themes and characters across a lifetime! It is the third thing when you thought there were only two.I feel like this is honestly probably the best play I've ever readI found The Invention of Love in Spiritual Friendship by the gay Christian author Wesley Hill.
