A veritable anthology of homosexuality in the nineteenth century, Graham Robb shatters the picture of Victorian repression to show a side of hope not previously discussed. Using multiple anecdotes and in-depth research, Robb examines the treatment of homosexuals during the 1800s while still relating to modern readers. The book is concluded with an analysis on gay culture, such as its relationship with religion as well as an investigation into the hidden homosexuality within the burgeoning detective fiction genre.
