性の定義は、時代や文化によってこれほどまでに異なっていた——30篇の論文が明らかにするゲイとレズビアンの埋もれた歴史。

マーティン・B・デュバーマン、マーサ・ヴィシナス、ジョージ・チョーンシーが編集した本書は、ゲイとレズビアンの歴史を初めて体系的に集成したアンソロジーとして刊行されました。 収録された30本の論文は、古代ギリシャから20世紀後半まで、世界各地のゲイ・レズビアンの生を描き出します。ジョン・ボズウェル、シャリ・ベンストック、キャロル・スミス=ローゼンバーグ、ジェフリー・ウィークス、ジョン・デミリオといった著名研究者が寄稿し、性のアイデンティティがいかに文化・時代によって異なる形を取ってきたかを示します。 Lambda Literary Award受賞作品。『ワシントン・ポスト・ブック・ワールド』が「豊かで堅実、かつ刺激的」と評し、『ライブラリー・ジャーナル』が「歴史コレクションに強く推薦」したほか、カトリーン・スティンプソン（ニューヨーク大学）が「無知と錯覚を打ち砕く記念碑的な書」と絶賛した学術研究の礎石です。

Winner of two Lambda Rising Awards This richly revealing anthology brings together for the first time the vital new scholarly studies now lifting the veil from the gay and lesbian past. Such notable researchers as John Boswell, Shari Benstock, Carroll Smith-Rosenberg, Jeffrey Weeks and John D’Emilio illuminate gay and lesbian life as it evolved in places as diverse as the Athens of Plato, Renaissance Italy, Victorian London, jazz Age Harlem, Revolutionary Russia, Nazi Germany, Castro’s Cuba, post-World War II San Francisco—and peoples as varied as South African black miners, American Indians, Chinese courtiers, Japanese samurai, English schoolboys and girls, and urban working women. Gender and sexuality, repression and resistance, deviance and acceptance, identity and community—all are given a context in this fascinating work. "A landmark of a book and a landmark of ideas that will shatter ignorance and delusion."— Catharine Stimpson, University Professor and Dean Emerita of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University “Ground-breaking.”— Publishers Weekly “The juxtaposition of diverse perspectives and research crossing boundaries of race, gender, culture, and time encourages a lively dialogue. Highly recommended for history collections, and especially gay studies.”— Library Journal
