Sex, Time and Place
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-4742-3493-1 (ISBN)
Featuring essays from an international range of established scholars and emergent voices, the collection is a timely contribution to this growing field. Its essays cover topics such as activist and radical communities and groups, AIDS and the city, art and literature, digital archives and technology, drag and performativity, lesbian Londons, notions of bohemianism and deviancy, sex reform and research and queer Black history.
Going further than the existing literature on Queer London which focuses principally on the experiences of white gay men in a limited time frame, Sex, Time and Place reflects the current state of this growing and important field of study. It will be of great value to scholars, students and general readers who have an interest in queer history, London studies, cultural geography, visual cultures and literary criticism.
Simon Avery is Reader in Modern Literature and Culture and Co-director of the Queer London Research Forum at the University of Westminster, UK. Katherine M. Graham is Visiting Lecturer and Co-director of the Queer London Research Forum at the University of Westminster, UK.
