dark academia queer book recommendations

[William Jedlinski]

Hello, I am looking for a book that has very old timey, dark academia vibes with poetic undertones about a gay love story. Something that would have the same vibes as like two philosophy students at oxford university in the 1950s falling in love, you know? Thank you to anyone who can help.

Hi William, welcome to the forum! I asked my sister about this (she’s a much bigger romance reader than I am) and she immediately said Maurice by E.M Forster!
