{"product_id":"queer-cambridge-simon-goldhill-9781009528061","title":"Queer Cambridge: An Alternative History","description":"Queer Cambridge recounts the untold story of a gay community living, for many decades, at the very heart of the British Establishment. Making effective use of chiefly forgotten archival sources - including personal diaries and letters - the author reveals a network that was in equal parts tolerant and acerbic, and within which the queer Fellows of Cambridge University explored bold new forms of camaraderie and relationship. Goldhill examines too the huge influence that these individuals had on British culture, in its arts, politics, music, theatre and self-understanding. During difficult decades when homosexuality was unlawful, gay academics - who included celebrated literary and scientific figures like E. M. Forster, M. R. James, Rupert Brooke and Alan Turing - lived, loved, and grew old together, bringing new generations into their midst. Their remarkable stories add up not just to an alternative history of male homosexuality in Britain, but to an alternative history of Cambridge itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Goldhill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009528068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009528061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2025","brand":"Simon Goldhill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424946733311,"sku":"9781009528061","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5291d394-697f-4e22-ade3-39ebba93d0ad.jpg?v=1761535960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-cambridge-simon-goldhill-9781009528061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
