Taking the lives of these three fascinating men, Brian Anderson combines biography with historical fact to make an entertaining yet intellectual study of homosexuality in the late Victorian age. Detailed, remarkably well researched, and packed full of insights on the remarkably modern publications that these men contributed to, ''The Fraternity of the Estranged'' shows just how far life for gay men has come in the last 100 years, but it's also surprising quite how forward thinking these men were – some of the dialogue between the men could easily be happening nowadays.
A fascinating piece of work – ''The Fraternity of the Estranged'' is illuminating and important – shedding light on a little known era of Gay History with great care and sensitivity. Highly recommended and for further reading I recommend [[Good As You: From Prejudice to Pride - 30 Years of Gay Britain by Paul Flynn]], a more modern history book that takes a look at the last 30 Years in Gay Britain, and is worth contrasting with ''The Fraternity of the Estranged'' to see just how far we've come – and how far we still have to go. {{toptentext|list=Top Ten Self-Published Books 2018}}
