| Opplysninger | Introduction / Matt Cook -- Male-male love and sex in the Middle ages, 1000-1500 / Robert Mills -- Renaissance sodomy, 1500-1700 / Randolph Trumbach -- Modern sodomy : the origins of homosexuality, 1700-1800 / Randolph Trumbach -- Secrets, crimes and disease, 1800-1914 / H.G. Cocks -- Queer conflicts : love, sex and war, 1914-1967 / Matt Cook -- From gay reform to Gaydar, 1967-2006 / Matt Cook. - Covering nearly a thousand years from the Norman Conquest to the Internet age, it is a history rich in personalities, not only public figures like Richard Lionheart or Derek Jarman, but also little-known individuals such as 'Eleanor', a cross-dresser in Chaucer's England, and Mark Partridge, branded a 'mollying bitch' in eighteenth-century London. A Gay history of Britain tells their stories against a shifting historical background of changing laws, fluctuations of popular prejudice, and unexpectedly influential events, such as the coming of the railways. Drawing on a wealth of research, the authors - each an expert in his field - have worked closely together to deliver a highly-readable narrative. Broad in its coverage but nuanced in its detail - including never-before-seen illustrations - it is an eye-opening exploration of the many different ways in which British men have expressed their love and desire for one another
