Before Wilde: Sex Between Men In Britain'S Age Of Reform

Examines changing perceptions of sex between men in early Victorian Britain. Looking at the transformations of the era - changes in the family and in the law, the emergence of the world's first police force, and the growth of a national media - this book asks how perceptions of same-sex desire changed between men, in families, and in the society.
