Product Description

Review

"In their separate histories of gay and lesbian Britain, Matt Cook and Rebecca Jennings have produced not only impressive historiographical summaries of recent scholarship but also compelling narratives of same-sex desire in Britain."

Reviewed with "A Gay History of Britain: Love and Sex Between Men Since the Middle Ages" -

Journal of British Studies

Product Description

Drawing on a range of historical sources - court records, newspaper reports, medical records, novels, oral histories, and personal papers - this book presents the extraordinary history of lesbian experience in Britain. Examining the lives and experiences of well-known as well as ordinary women, it brings both variety and nuance to their shared history. In doing so, it explores cultural representations of, and changing attitudes toward, female same-sex desire in Britain.

Format:Hardcover
A whirlwind tour of lesbian lives through the ages, accessible material written in positive style, without glossing over. Pleasant to dip into and a good starting point for further research.
