- This 240-page monograph in seven chapters explores same-sex desire and countercultural sexuality with a focus on how Anglo-Catholicism from the Oxford Movement onwards. Involving extensive research in British and North American libraries and archives and an interdisciplinary approach, it has been five years in the making. Using case studies of Christian and post-Christian thinkers, writers and a film-maker, it argues that the church offered an environment where alternative relationships could be expressed and a ‘queer lifestyle’ could be practiced in a safe space, rehabilitating the idea of a ‘closet’ as a space for queer martyrdom.
