Jeffrey Merrick and Bryant Ragan have assembled a valuable collection of articles dealing with various aspects of homosexuality in France from the later years of The Old Regime through the last part of the twentieth century. The ten articles are arranged in approximately chronological order, although there is some overlapping. Ragan and Merrick contributed the first two pieces; their areas of concentration appear to be on the Old Regime. Two of the articles focus on women, two are, to some degree mixed, and the remaining six deal exclusively with men. The articles vary from social history in the form of trends, patterns and statistics, to case studies involving one or more particular events or persons, to personal accounts of specific influential individuals. The sources differ as widely as the nature, tone, purpose and subjects of the articles. Considering the prominent roles lesbians and homosexual men have played in early modern France, and the frequent perception of Paris as a center of hedonism and loose morals, this book fills a niche in the research.

This volume explores the realities and representations of same-sex sexuality in France in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, the period that witnessed the emergence of "homosexuality" in the modern sense of the word. Based on archival research and textual analysis, the articles examine the development of homosexual subcultures and illustrate the ways in which philosophes, pamphleteers, police, novelists, scientists, and politicians conceptualized same-sex relations and connected them with more general concerns about order and disorder. The contributors--Elizabeth Colwill, Michael David Sibalis, Victoria Thompson, William Peniston, Vernon Rosario II, Francesca Canade-Sautman, Martha Hanna, Robert A. Nye, and the editors Bryant T. Ragan, Jr. and Jeffrey Merrick--use the methods of intellectual and cultural history, the history of science, literary studies, legal and social history, and microhistory. This collection shows how the subject of homosexuality is related to important topics in French history: the Enlightenment, the revolutionary tradition, social discipline, positivism, elite and popular culture, nationalism, feminism, and the construction of identity. Given the role of gays and lesbians in modern French culture and the work of French scholars on the history of sexuality, this collection fills an important gap in the literature and represents the first attempt in any language to explore this subject over three centuries from a variety of perspectives.
