Breathtaking in its historical and geographical scope, this book provides a sweeping examination of the construction of male and female homosexualities, stressing both the variability of the forms same-sex desire can take and the key recurring patterns it has formed throughout history. ''[An] indispensable resource on same-sex sexual relationships and their social contexts. . . . Essential reading.'' — Choice ''[P]romises to deliver a lot, and even more extraordinarily succeeds in its lofty aims. . . . [O]riginal and refreshing. . . . [A] sensational book, part of what I see emerging as a new commonsense revolution within academe.'' —Kevin White, International Gay and Lesbian Review
