Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity : The Last Eminent Victorian
ISBN: 9781560233596 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A perfect ancillary textbook for courses in history, literature and gender studies, this work contributes to the expanding field of queer studies from a historian's perspective.
