Description
Queer Cambridge offers a fresh perspective on the history of male homosexuality in Britain, revealing a network of gay individuals living at the heart of the British Establishment. Through previously forgotten archival sources, the author sheds light on the lives of gay academics who made significant contributions to British culture.
During a time when homosexuality was unlawful, these individuals lived, loved, and grew old together, bringing new generations into their midst. Their stories not only add to an alternative history of male homosexuality in Britain but also provide a unique insight into the history of Cambridge University.
This book is a fascinating exploration of a previously untold story, one that challenges our understanding of the British Establishment and its relationship with the LGBTQ+ community.
