More about the book

MacFarlane charts the emergence of sodomy in the stories and novels of Restoration and eighteenth-century England as a definable social act, not as a marker of an emerging proto-modern "homosexual" identity. From Faustina, the Tragedy of Niro to or the Quintessence of Debauchery, he argues that the Sodomite symbolized a variety of economic and political conflicts and transgressions; at the same time it enabled the articulation of homoerotic desire as it was being condemned.
