Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century
by Graham Robb (2003)

Robb challenges the common assumptions of the Victorian age as a tabloid image of homophobic hell populated by mean-spirited, fearful and envious ignoramuses from which gay people eventually liberated themselves. Despite its all-inclusive subtitle however, Strangers mainly focuses only on western Europe, with a few mentions of Eastern Europe and America.
