Re-examining how the Victorians considered such identity categories to have produced and shaped each other can ground a more durable basis for strengthening our present LGBTQ+ coalition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eLGBT Victorians\u003c\/em\u003e reconsiders the significance of sexology and efforts to retrospectively discover transgender people in historical archives, particularly in the gap between what the nineteenth century termed the sodomite and the hermaphrodite. It highlights a broad range of individuals (including Anne Lister, and the defendants in the \"Fanny and Stella\" trial of the 1870s), key thinkers and activists (including Karl-Heinrich Ulrichs and Edward Carpenter), and writers such as Walt Whitman and John Addington Symonds to map the complicated landscape of gender and sexuality in the Victorian period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Joyce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198980655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198980650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.23w x 0.69d","brand":"Simon Joyce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47757129941247,"sku":"9780198980650","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e105b866-dfa2-4863-ae8b-7fe770e560b6.jpg?v=1765509979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lgbt-victorians-simon-joyce-9780198980650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
