Before the Word Was Queer: Sexuality and the English Dictionary, 1600–1930
Turton, Stephen (University of Oxford)
This book uncovers how same-sex acts, desires, and identities have been represented in English dictionaries in Britain from the early modern to the interwar period. In doing so, it responds and contributes to established traditions and new trends in linguistics, queer theory, literary criticism, and the history of sexuality.
