{"product_id":"a-gay-history-of-britain-matt-cook-9781846450020","title":"A Gay History of Britain: Love and Sex Between Men Since the Middle Ages","description":"The book explores the changing ways in which male-male sex and love have been perceived and experienced from the late Anglo-Saxon period to the present. Celebrated figures, such as Richard Lionheart, whose love for Philip Augustus of France was so well-documented, Oscar Wilde, gubject of the most explosive scandal of the Victorian period, and Derek Jarman, the great artist and chronicler of the age of AIDS, are examined alongside little-known figures: Eleanor\/John Rykener, a cross-dresser in Chaucer's England, the mollies of eighteenth-century London, the habituants of underground gay bars and cafes in 1930s Manchester and Brighton, and the newly-confident gays of contemporary Britain, who marry, adopt children and command the increasingly powerful 'pink pound'. Drawing on a fabulous wealth of research, the authors - each an expert in his field - have worked closely together to deliver a powerful, highly-readable and eye-opening history of love and desire between men in Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Cook, Robert Mills, Randolph Trumbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846450020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846450020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.59w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Supplements\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 32","brand":"Matt Cook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938946810111,"sku":"9781846450020","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_42f3698c-fa0a-4eff-91c6-9833d893cb6d.jpg?v=1681438605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-gay-history-of-britain-matt-cook-9781846450020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
