Edward Carpenter

Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) was an English socialist poet, an anthologist, and an early homosexual activist. He joined the Church of England as a curate and was influenced by the Christian Socialist movement. He travelled to Ceylon and India in 1890 and studied eastern religions. He developed a kind of "mystic socialism" which produced campaigns against air pollution and vivisection, promoted vegetarianism and "rational dress." In the 1890s, Carpenter began a campaign against sexual orientation discrimination. His 1908 book The Intermediate Sex, would become a foundational text of the LGBT movements of the 20th century. His groundbreaking 1908 anthology of poems, Lolaus: Anthology of Friendship was a huge underground success, leading to a more advanced knowledge of homoerotic culture.

Late studies in the Psychology of Sex have led to some interesting speculations with regard to the poet Shelley; and it is with pleasure that I write a few lines by way of introduction to the following paper by my friend, George Barnefield, which puts very clearly, as I think, some points in Shelley's temperament which have hitherto been neglected or misunderstood, and which call for renowned consideration. Not having myself made a special study of the Modern Psychology, I do not pretend to certify to the absolute truth of the theories put forward by Mr. Barnefield, but I do certainly think, after due consideration, that they are worthy of very careful study.

The Story Of Eros & Psyche Retold From Apuleius Together with Some Early Verses

Esta obra valiente se publico en 1908, en un momento en que en Inglaterra, donde aun coleaban las secuelas de la condena a Oscar Wilde por sodomita, existia un riesgo real para el autor de un texto que se atrevia a reivindicar publicamente a los hombres y mujeres que amaban a los de su propio sexo. Partiendo de la idea (hoy dia considerada erronea) de que existia un tercer sexo -o sexo intermedio-, Edward Carpenter busco argumentos, tanto culturales e historicos como cientificos, para reivindicar un espacio en la sociedad britanica para las personas homosexuales de su epoca. En su momento resulto un libro muy valiente y avanzado, lleno de material valioso y que jugo un gran papel entre los gais y lesbianas de entonces, al ofrecerles herramientas de aceptacion, modelos identitarios y una narrativa positiva que les explicaba su manera de sentir diferente, demostrandoles que no estaban solos, convenciendolos de que no tenian por que sentirse avergonzados, pues en muchos aspectos eran superiores a los hombres y mujeres "normales," todo lo cual proporciono consuelo y tranquilidad a muchos de ellos. Aunque no todo el mundo lo recibio de igual manera, pues el British Medial Journal lo condeno por su reiteracion de alabanzas y adjetivos laudatorios para criaturas y costumbres que gemelamente se consideran odiosas. Considerada una pieza fundamental en la construccion del discurso homosexual que desembocaria en los movimientos de liberacion gay de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, nunca fue traducida al espanol."

The Hoo Peninsula is located on the north Kent coast 30 miles east of Central London. This book raises awareness of the positive contribution that the historic environment makes to the Hoo Peninsula by describing how changing patterns of land use and maritime activity over time have given this landscape and seascape its distinctive character. It uses new information, which involved historic landscape, seascape and farmstead characterisation, aerial photographic mapping and analysis, area assessment of the buildings, detailed survey of key sites and other desk-based research. It takes a thematic view of the major influences on the history and development of the Hoo Peninsula and demonstrates the role that the Peninsula plays in the national story.The book is an important step towards changing the perception that the Hoo Peninsula is an out-of-the-way area, scarred by past development, where the landscape has no heritage value and major infrastructure can be developed with minimum objection.

Recalling the effect of World War II on the lives of the people of Romney Marsh, the author records their role in the war and brings back to life the everyday realities and intense atmosphere of those troubled times. The book features eyewitness accounts and memoirs, maps, plans and photographs.
