Until the 1960s, homosexuality in literature was, almost by definition, associated with psychological and moral deficiencies, sin, crime, and feelings of guilt.
With the introduction of clause 248bis in the Dutch criminal code in 1911, a discriminatory provision in Dutch law was enacted: The age of consent for same-sex behavior was set at twenty-one, whereas the age of consent for heterosexual behavior was set at sixteen.
As in almost all gay and lesbian literature published between 1910 and 1960, homosexuality is presented from the point of view of "the other," who usually only hints at the real nature of relationships.
