A Gay History of Britain

Love and Sex Between Men Since the Middle Ages

Omschrijving

Presents the history of love and desire between men in Britain. Covering nearly a thousand years from the Norman Conquest to the internet age, this book talks about not only public figures like Richard the Lionheart or Derek Jarman, but also little-known individuals such as 'Eleanor', a cross-dresser in Chaucer's England, and many others.
