This book is part of a new generation of historical research that
challenges prevailing arguments for the medical and legal
construction of male homosexual identities in late nineteenth and
early twentieth-century Britain. British society could not tolerate
the discussion necessary to form medical or legal concepts of 'the
homosexual'. The development of masculinity as a social status is
examined, for its influence in shaping societal attitudes towards
sex and sexuality between men and fostering resistance to any kind
of recognition of these phenomena. Imperatives to bolster
masculinity as a social status precluded public recognition of the
existence of sex and sexuality between men, even in terms that were
hostile and pejorative.
