The Myth of the Modern Homosexual: Queer History and the Search for Cultural Unity (Sexual politics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Aims to demolish the conception that the homosexual is a distinctive species invented in the modern age. The text argues against "social constructionist" theories in lesbian and gay studies, proposing a case for the autonomy of queer identities and culture. It presents evidence that queers are part of a centuries-old history, possessing a unified historical and cultural identity. The volume reviews the fundamental historiograhical issues about the nature of queer history, arguing that a new generation of queer historians will need to abandon authoritarian dogma founded upon politically-correct ideology rather than historical experience.
