History of Art History. Previously known as Artis Historia.
First published in 1987, this book encompasses a broad range
interdisciplinary research into homosexuality - displaying a full
spectrum of points of view - and, given that the major traditions
of modern homosexual research began in Europe, is not restricted to
works in English.. In general topics that are densely covered in
the literature are presented in this guide selectively, with some
less studied topics, such as Economics and Music, fleshed out with
signposts to more comprehensive research. It seeks to not only
mirror existing publications, but also to stimulate new work by
pinpointing neglected themes and methods. This book will be of
interest to students of sociology.
First published in 1990, The Encyclopedia of Homosexuality brings
together a collection of outstanding articles that were, at the
time of this book's original publication, classic, pioneering, and
recent. Together, the two volumes provide scholarship on male and
female homosexuality and bisexuality, and, reaching beyond
questions of physical sexuality, they examine the effects of
homophilia and homophobia on literature, art, religion, science,
law, philosophy, society, and history. Many of the writings were
considered to be controversial, and often contradictory, at that
time, and refer to issues and difficulties that still exist today.
This volume contains entries from A-L.

First published in 1993. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The Homophobic Mind addresses a host of myths and fabrications that
have functioned over the centuries to rationalize prejudice and
discrimination affecting GLBT people. The history of homophobia
does not disclose a monolithic entity; instead, it is an amalgam of
disparate elements. This book examines more than forty separate
tropes or motifs. These tropes have varied origins, stemming from
the realms of religion, philosophy, medicine, psychology, and
folklore. In each case the essence of the myth is briefly stated,
followed by an analysis of its origins and development, and
concluding with a response. Given the progress of human knowledge,
one might have expected that such archaic thought-patterns would
all have withered away by now. However, the myths show a
zombie-like capacity to persist - and even to revive once again
after their apparent demise. Accordingly, this book provides not
simply a historical account, but is a lesson for our times.
