英文說明:
Just crawling out from under the Victorian
blanket, Europe was devastated by a gruesome
war that consumed the flower of its youth.
Tamagne dissects the strands of euphoria,
rebellion, exploration, nostalgia and yearning,
and the bonds forged at school and on the
battlefront, in a scholarly treatise charting
the early days of the homosexual and lesbian
scene. The period between the two world wars
was crucial in the history of homosexuality in
Europe. It was then that homosexuality first
came out into the light of day. Berlin became
the capital of the new culture, and the center
of a political movement seeking rights and
protections for what we now call gays and
lesbians. In England, the confruntation was
brisk to undermine the structures and
strictures of Victorianism; whereas in France
(which was more tolerant, over all),
homosexuality remained more subtle and
nonmilitant.Tamagne's 2-volume work outlines
the long and arduous journey from the shadows
toward acceptability as the homosexual and
lesbian community sets out to find a new
legitimacy at various levels of society. She
weaves together cultural references from
literature, songs and theater, news stories
and private correspondence, police reports and
government documents to give a rounded picture
of the evolving scene.
