Opis

Volume two of this two volume set focuses on gay history and culture. Beginning in 1869, when the study of homosexuality was said to have begun with the establishment of sexology, this encyclopedia offers accounts of international developments in an area that now occupies a critical place in many fields of academic endeavours. Intended as a reference for students and scholars in many fields, as well as the general public, the encyclopedia is written in user-friendly language. At the same time it seeks to maintain a level of scholarship that incorporates passion and objectivity.

"The Encyclopedia is a thorough, well-researched and for the most part impressive collection of notes on the who, what, where, why, and when of lesbians...The cross-cultural entries are some of the best I've seen in a project of this nature.
