Love and Sex Between Men Since the Middle Ages

A Gay History of Britain

Matt Houlbrook

This book offers an overview of approaches, methods, recent work and major debates in the history of sexuality. The two decades since the publication of Michel Foucault's seminal History of Sexuality have witnessed both a proliferation of empirical and theoretical historical studies and an increasing divergence in approaches to the writing of histories of sexuality in Europe and North America. Yet while these centrifugal trajectories have been identified in many edited collections, there has been no coherent attempt to address, or draw together, this diversity of practice and methodology. This collection aims to do just this, drawing on contributions from a range of scholars, each examining the past, present and future of the exploration of sex, as a social, cultural and historical phenomenon.

Palgrave Advances in the Modern History of Sexuality

The first narrative history of its kind since 1970, A Gay History of Britain tells the extraordinary history of male-male sex and love in Britain, in all its diversity, from the Middle Ages to the present.

A wonderfully quirky social history of modern Britain, explored through the medium of the personal ad. It’s a sideways look at the history of relationships from WWI soldiers looking for lady friends, to lonely clerks and typists, through to internet junkies today.
