London and the Culture of Homosexuality explores the relationship
between London and male homosexuality from the criminalization of
all 'acts of gross indecency' between men in 1885 to the outbreak
of the First World War in 1914 - years marked by an intensification
in concern about male-male relationships and also by the emergence
of an embryonic homosexual rights movement. Taking his cue from
literary and lesbian and gay scholars, urban historians and
cultural geographers, Matt Cook combines discussion of London's
homosexual subculture and various major and minor scandals with a
detailed examination of representations in the press, in science
and in literature. The conjunction of approaches used in this study
provides insights into the development of ideas about the modern
homosexual and into the many different ways of comprehending and
taking part in London's culture of homosexuality.
