Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The first ever comprehensive, global account of gay history. It is spectacularly illustrated throughout and includes an extensive selection of images. From Theocritus' versus to "Queer As Folk", this extraordinarily wide-ranging book illustrates both the commonality of love and lust and the various ways in which such desires have been constructed through the ages.
