From inside front cover: Uncovers the real story of male and female homosexuality in the Victorian era. On the basis of archives, diaries and letters scattered throughout Europe and America, Robb tells a tale that is in part familiar, and in part extremely surprising -- a story of oppression and secrecy but also of unexpected tolerance and familiarity. Contradicting the widely held view that a liberated and proud gay heritage dates back only a few decades, Robb uncovers evidence from legislation, literature, medicine, and daily life pointing to a culture of homosexuality that was uniquely well developed, self-aware, and sophisticated.

Excerpts

MORE THAN ONCE, while working on this book, I left the age of top-hats and bustles to find the world outside strangely similar.
