Description

Masculinity, Class and Same-Sex Desire in Industrial England, 1895-1957 is the first book to explore the experiences of men who desired other men outside of the capital. In doing so, it offers a unique intervention into the history of sexuality but it also offers new ways to understand masculinity, working-class culture, regionality and work in the period. The experiences of these men show that same-sex desire could be a part of everyday life and this in itself challenges the way in which sexuality as a concept has been understood. This study draws on a wide range of sources that allow the reader privileged access to the lives of men that have been forgotten.
