Looking at the dramatic transformations of the era-changes in the family and in the law, the emergence of the world's first police force, the growth of a national media, and more-Charles Upchurch asks how perceptions of same-sex desire changed between men, in families, and in the larger society. To illuminate these questions, he mines a rich trove of previously unexamined sources, including hundreds of articles pertaining to sex between men that appeared in mainstream newspapers. The first book to relate this topic to broader economic, social, and political changes in the early nineteenth century, Before Wilde sheds new light on the central question of how and when sex acts became identities. 606 $aGay men$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aGay men$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aMen$xSexual behavior$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aHomosexuality$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSex$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGay men$xHistory. 615 0$aGay men$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMen$xSexual behavior$xHistory 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory 615 0$aSex$xHistory 676 $a306.76/62094109034 700 $aUpchurch$b Charles$f1969-$01045872 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453542503321 996 $aBefore Wilde$92472457 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01533nam 2200373 n 450 001 996390013003316 005 20200818223847.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000098940 035 $a(EEBO)2240872331 035 $a(UnM)99826463e 035 $a(UnM)99826463 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000098940 100 $a19941213d1690 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aAt Exeter Change.
