About the Author
Patrick Higgins lectures in history at New Hall, Cambridge.
Review
A fine and useful volume, and one which makes compulsive reading. . . A bedside, loosed, pulsed book, yet a profound one. -- The Times [London]
A most quotable history of homosexuality. . . Higgins has plucked the pithy and profound from the likes of Wilde, Warhol, Aristophanes, and Isherwood. -- New York Magazine
A wonderful example of the kind of old-fashioned anthology they used to call 'a treasury.' Certainly it's the perfect gift for any gay man--but give it to yourself first. -- Genre
Destined for the reading lists of gay studies courses everywhere. . . A topic that, even after 2500 years, continues to be endlessly fascinating. -- Echo
Highly readable, this is a fascinating volume. . . The literary equivalent of going on a Gay Pride march. -- Capital Gay Community News
Thoughtful, touching, and endearing. . . [with] huge laughs along the way. -- The Observer [London]
Unprecedented. . . A rich collection. -- A Different Light Review

Paperback
Seller: WorldofBooks, Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The author of this book has divided the book into 20 chapters covering themes such as definitions, denial and exposure, camp, fantasy, school, causes, personality and partners, and prefaced them with a short introduction placing each theme in a wider context. The extracts that follow are often arranged to suggest a dialogue or debate, giving the reader the opportunity to enjoy gentle irony and humour arising from widely divergent opinions on this controversial subject. As well as representing all the great names in homosexual literature, Patrick Higgins has included many extracts from newspapers, magazines and scripts, giving the anthology unusual breadth. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR009768548
