In this unique intervention in the study of queer culture, Dominic
Janes highlights that, under the gaze of social conservatism, 'gay'
life was hiding in plain sight. Indeed, he argues that the worlds
of glamour, fashion, art and countercultural style provided rich
opportunities for the construction of queer spectacle in London.
Inspired by the legacies of Oscar Wilde, interwar and later
20th-century men such as Cecil Beaton expressed transgressive
desires in forms inspired by those labelled 'freaks' and, thereby,
made major contributions to the histories of art, design, fashion,
sexuality, and celebrity. Janes reinterprets the origins of gay and
queer cultures by charting the interactions between marginalized
freaks and chic fashionistas. He establishes a new framework for
future analyses of other cities and media, and of the roles of
women and diverse identities.
