the long version

**Noble Lives** examines how sexual orientation affected the careers of two historical figures generally accepted as gay, and a third whose sexual identity was in constant question during his lifetime. This unique book features comprehensive biographical accounts of Jazz Age author Glenway Wescott, Academy Award-winning composer Aaron Copland, and Nobel Peace Laureate Dag Hammarskjold, addressing the relationship between their sexuality and their achievements in literature, the social sciences, musical composition, diplomacy, and global politics. **Noble Lives** is the first English-language text to thoroughly--and objectively--explore the troubled sexuality of Sweden's Hammarskjold, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations.
