A Queer Reader - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The first anthology of its kind, this is a witty, candid and wide-ranging collection of writings about homosexuality - ranging from the Ancient Greeks to the present day. A collection of writings about male homosexuality: a celebration of the diversity of homosexual experience. Patrick Higgins has compiled an anthology which illustrates the changing and the unchanging aspects of homosexuality. He draws on a huge range of sources: from Plato's Symposium to Gay News from Michelangelo's Sonnets to a speech in the House of Lords, from graphic graffiti found in Pompeii to a poem by W. H. Auden. Higgins uses novels, biographies, autobiographies, histories and ephemera to trace the real history of the homosexual sensibility.
