Historians Kent Gerard and Gert Hekma make available--for the first time to an English-speaking audience--the best, most recent work on the history of male homosexuality in Early Modern Europe. The role of the male homosexual--during the pivotal era of 1400 to 1800--is thoroughly explored. A wide-ranging group of authors offers relevant and fascinating material on sexual history and sexuality, in general, and on homosexuality and European history, in particular.

4.0 out of 5 stars
very interesting book,
By SEBASTIANVS "libra64" (TOKYO Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pursuit of Sodomy: Male Homosexuality in Renaissance and Enlightenment Europe (Research on Homosexuality, Vol 17) (Hardcover)
This book contains many interesting researches about male/male love & sex in the days of Renaissance et Enlightment. From Italia, Iberia , and France, Germania, Scandinavia, to the Netherlands and England , but not Russia and the Eastern Europe at all.I recommend the book for everybody to read. Next time I prefer to read a book written by one author like M. J. Rocke's " Forbidden Friendships ".
