Book Synopsis
Masculinity, Class and Same-Sex Desire in Industrial England, 1895-1957 explores the experiences of men who desired other men outside of the capital. In doing so, it offers a unique intervention into the history of sexuality but it also offers new ways to understand masculinity, working-class culture, regionality and work in the period.

Trade Review
“The book offers significant depth and engagement on the issues of sexuality, class and masculinity in industrial England between 1895 and 1957 … . this is a rich, accessible and important contribution to our understanding of same-sex desire, class and masculinity in Britain.” (Jeffrey Meek, Twentieth Century British History, Vol. 28 (1), March, 2017)
