Скачать или смотреть Peter Parker & Neil Bartlett’s Some Men in London Queer Life 1945 – 1967 The British Library 1st Oct

What was life actually like for gay men in 1960s London?

How do we not forget?

An insight from Peter Parker and Neil Bartlett about their upcoming event for Some Men in London: Queer Life 1945 – 1967 at The British Library on Tuesday 1st October hosted by Gay’s the Word. See Gay’s the Word’s link tree to book or go to the British Library website events page.

Peter Parker will delve into his extraordinary anthologies, Some Men in London, with Neil Bartlett.

Tuesday 1st October 7pm at The British Library (and online).

Drawing upon letters, diaries, novels, plays, films, newspaper articles, parliamentary debates, medical journals and police reports, Peter Parker’s book, provides a picture of what life was really like for gay men from the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. Although these men faced prosecution in the courts and vilification in the newspapers, they showed extraordinary resilience, and the capital had a lively queer subculture which was reflected in the arts.

Join Neil Bartlett in conversation with Peter Parker as they cover the entire post-war period, with a particular emphasis on the 1960s, with readings from the letters, diaries and other documents.
