Opis

An exploration into the history of gay sexuality in 19th-century Paris, this title draws on a wealth of sources and information to reconstruct the attitudes towards, and activities in, same sex relationships. The text demonstrates how the working class fitted into this social construct rather than focusing solely on the elites in society.
