'Well-judged, economical and shrewd.' - Alan Sinfield, Gay
Times
'Chris White's editorial approach is quite inspired. Instead of
laying out the material chronologically, White presents along a
continium based on what was sayable or not sayable about same-sex
desire in the 1800s, moving from the permissable to the least.' -
Lewis Gannett
