In the venerable JiscMail tradition of shameless self-promotion, I'd like to announce the publication of "Goethe Männer Knaben: Ansichten zur 'Homosexualität'" (Insel-Verlag, 503 pp. with 32 pp. illustrations). It is the first full-length study of Goethe's views on and representations of same-sex love (not on his own sexuality, except tangentially), and is written for both scholarly and general readers.
Colleagues who are in Germany can attend launch events at the Literaturhaus in Berlin next Tuesday evening, or in Weimar, Frankfurt/M. or Bonn. See details at the book's web page http://www.suhrkamp.de/buecher/goethe_maenner_knaben-w_daniel_wilson_17542.html (the Frankfurt event is next Friday, 7 Sept., and will be posted on the website very soon).
