About this product

Product Information

A comprehensive survey of the English gay community at its 18th century roots, sporting for the first time a distinctive subculture with its molly houses , sodomites' walks , maiden names and slang. Challenging in its demonstration that the molly subculture was primarily a working-class phenomenon, of blacksmiths, milkmen, publicans and shoemakers, this book also sketches the biographies of more well-known personalities such as the Rev John Church, who was prosecuted for his blessing of gay marriages.
