- This 288-page monograph in ten chapters has taken three years of research and writing but has been informed by Janes’ work on the use of visual sources to inform queer history dating back to 2009. Using analysis of more than 100 under-utilised images from mid-eighteenth-century “macaronis” to late-nineteenth-century “aesthetes” (63 of which are reproduced), this monograph problematises male same-sex desire in Britain, by showing the extent to which dandyism, aestheticism, and sodomy were liked before 1895.
