Masculinity, Class and Same-Sex Desire in Industrial England, 1895-1957 by Helen Smith

My reading buddy chose this for me for the [community profile] thestoryinside June challenge. I have just read the introduction, and it's fascinating. It's the first detailed academic study of non-metropolitan men who desired other men in England during the period 1895-1957, showing us that how class and society shape people's perception of gender and sexuality, and there isn't an uniform queer experience. During that period, the strong working class culture was anti-authority, resisted interference with personal privacy and stressed male bonding. This allowed those men to have more sexual freedom than their London counterpart.
