Art and Literature but not death, so I suppose it strictly doesn't belong here - but what the hell!
My sort-of-stepmother gave me this book:
http://www.britishmuseumshoponline..../cmc51007?_ga=1.63816943.170425557.1410044954
and it's great. Most of content also in webtrail
http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/themes/same-sex_desire_and_gender.aspx
and audiobook
http://www.britishmuseum.org/channel/object_stories/audio_a_little_gay_history.aspx
but webtrail misses the best image from the book, with the marvellous comment in the text :

'Actions such as this were probably not seen in public at the time'.

And this really is an official British Museum publication - with all our faults, we Brits are getting some things right!
