Going as Far as I Can: The Ultimate Travel Book, by Duncan Fallowell
Queer London in Literature
In literature about queer men, London's parks, squares, streets and ‘public conveniences’ have figured more significantly even than bars and clubs, let alone bedrooms. What matters more than where men eventually make love has been where they meet. Some do so in great national spaces and thoroughfares—Piccadilly Circus principal among them—others in more obscure corners. The queer presence in them emerges, often in the weighty moment of cruising's…

On Sexuality and Power
The Sodomitic Reputation of Weimar Berlin
Weimar Berlin became the European city of erotic dreams and moral nightmares. Berlin became the symbol both of the wonderful things that could be achieved if one fought for them and of the terrible things that might happen if one did not fight against them. The openness and proliferation of Berlin's homosexual life was both a promise and a threat. Weimar's legacy was not so much the vengeful righteousness of Nazism as the efficient fervour with w…
The Aids epidemic in American crime fiction, 1981-2001
From the start of the AIDS epidemic in 1981, American crime fiction began to make use of the epidemic's prevalent imagery of sex and death, semen and blood, pleasure and pain, transgression and punishment. The epidemic proved a useful atmospheric effect in crime writers' representations of the mean streets of contemporary urban life. Moreover, early characterization of HIV as a stealthy and purposive 'killer virus' was a perfect fit with one of t…
Educationally Queer: Teaching lesbian and gay studies in higher education
Empirical evidence shows widespread homophobia among university and college students, but also that this can be undermined by the presence of openly gay teachers and courses on gay topics. Such courses recruit well, especially among heterosexual women. Personal experience as a student in school and university, then as an English lecturer and the UK's first professor of gay and lesbian studies, suggests that change, although slow, is evident. Howe…

Gay Re-Readings of the Harlem Renaissance Poets
In the light of the long-established fact of their homosexuality or bisexuality, it is high time for the cluster of "Negro Renaissance" poets, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Richard Bruce Nugent, to be reappraised by and for gay readers. This paper seeks to develop gay reading strategies in relation to the poems of these writers, in order to reveal for contemporary readers likely subtexts which, at the time of their writing, w…
Body, Costume, and Deisre in Christopher Marlowe
All the desired youths in Marlowe come clothed in favors, the tokens of older and richer men's yearning. These bribes and rewards, often feminine or effeminate ornaments, not only beautify the already gorgeous bodies of young men, but also label and augment their value and their power. The moment of virility's blooming, in adolescence, is seen as a time when boys can negotiate favorable terms of entry into the realms of manhood by the seductive u…
