An Ad Hoc Bibliography for Sources on History of M/M Sexuality
Saturday, June 29, 2024 - 14:08
This is a list of books on the history of sexuality or queer history (that I’m aware of) that include m/m topics. This will not include books that are solely about m/m queer history because they fall outside my scope of interest. This list was compiled to answer a query on social media (and was too long to post there in response). Because the question was focused around 12th century France, I’ve bolded the titles that have specific coverage of the middle ages.
I’ve linked to my coverage of these publications in the blog (if I’ve covered them yet), but of course my coverage will be focused on f/f topics in the publications. This list is far from exhaustive on the subject (and may not even include everything in my library, given that it’s a bit of a mess at the moment with books double-shelved for lack of space).
