Gay / Queer / Homosexual Studies
History / Psychology / Sociology / Theory etc



Books in this section are primarily from a US / UK perspective; some are translations of foreign works that have had a significant impact on AngloSaxon studies (eg Magnus Hirschfeld's Sexual Anomalies and Perversions). Titles include books / booklets with attitudes that we would now consider homophobic.


For books that deal primarily with other cultures, including other Western societies, see that section; check also non-fiction works in the Other Languages section in the left column.


For books that deal with gay sexuality tangentially or as a minor issue, see the sexuality section.



Price includes postage and packing in the UK.

"Indeed, military outposts were recognized as environments so notorious for sodomy that this could be adduced as a motive for clemency: in 1440 the government justified canceling a convicted sodomite's fine because, among other reasons, when he committed sodomy 'he was at military service and frequented soldiers, who are commonly profligate in that vice'."
