Caviar And Friendship: Sensational Trials And The Reinvention Of Public Space, Nicola J. Evans

Explanations for the dentist’s putative crime were sought in his ancestry, his gender and his reading habits.

This study is an examination of the public imaging of gay men and lesbians during the latter part of the twentieth and early part of the twenty-first centuries. The study looks at public imaging as it is performed in the service of the political aims of gay people, with an eye towards the kinds of tensions and erasures that occur when one monolithic identity is promoted. Through these examinations, I create a kind of contemporary history of the gay political rights movement. In the study, I examine theoretical approaches to identity from several postmodern theorists and then use these approaches …
