Nineteenth-Century Writings on Homosexuality collects together texts concerned with same-sex desire in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
This comprehensive collection ranges widely both generically and chronologically, including prose, poetry, fiction, history and polemic from 1810 to 1914. Containing a general introduction, section headnotes, a bibliography of primary and secondary source material, and sections on The Law, Science, Love, and Sex, this book is extraordinarily well researched. Nineteenth-Century Writings on Homosexuality: A Sourcebook includes writing on:
* trials and scandals
* censorship and homophobia
* cultural and personal history
* love and friendship
* lesbianism
* aestheticism and decadence
* sexual tourism and colonialism
* cross-class desire
* sodomy and sadomasochism
Bringing together for the first time in one volume a wide range of primary source material, this fascinating book includes many texts unavailable outside very specialised academic libraries.
