LONDON AND THE CULTURE OF HOMOSEXUALITY 1885 – 1914
Matt Cook

 

Cook explores the relationship between London and homosexuality during a time marked by intensification in concern about male-male relationships and also by the emergence of an embryonic homosexual rights movement. Cook combines his coverage of London’s homosexual subculture and various major and minor scandals with a detailed examination of representations in the press, science and literature. This conjunction of approaches distinguishes this study from other works and provides new insight into the development of ideas about homosexuality during the period.
