‘Droll, provocative and crammed to busting with startling facts’ Simon Callow, Guardian In this powerful Sunday Times bestseller Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way – through the history and experiences of its gay population. In Roman Londinium the city was dotted with lupanaria (‘wolf dens’ or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels) and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure. Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music and the horror of AIDS. Today, we live in an era of openness and tolerance and Queer London has become part of the new norm. Ackroyd tells us the hidden story of how it got there, celebrating its diversity, thrills and energy on the one hand; but reminding us of its very real terrors, dangers and risks on the other.

Queer Cities, Queer Cultures examines the formation and make-up of urban subcultures and situates them against the stories we typically tell about Europe and its watershed moments in the post 1945 period. The book considers the degree to which the iconic events of 1945, 1968 and 1989 influenced the social and sexual climate of the ensuing decades, raising questions about the form and structure of the 1960s sexual revolution, and forcing us to think about how we define sexual liberalization - and where, how and on whose terms it occurs. An international team of authors explores the role of America in shaping particular forms of subculture; the significance of changes in legal codes; differing modes of queer consumption and displays of community; the difficult fit of queer (as opposed to gay and lesbian) politics in liberal democracies; the importance of mobility and immigration in modulating queer urban life; the challenge of AIDS; and the arrival of the internet. By exploring the queer histories of cities from Istanbul to Helsinki and Moscow to Madrid, Queer Cities, Queer Cultures makes a significant contribution to our understanding of urban history, European history and the history of gender and sexuality.

Nella Londra romana l’omosessualità era più che accettata. La città era ricca di lupanari e piscine pubbliche deputate al piacere, terme e bordelli. Poi arrivò l’imperatore Costantino con vescovi e missionari; il suo regolamento conteneva le prime leggi contro le pratiche queer. Seguì un’alternanza infinita di permissività e censura, dal travestitismo femminile alla moda nel 1620 alle frenetiche esecuzioni per sodomia dei primi dell’Ottocento, fino alla ‘peste’ gay negli anni Ottanta. Ackroyd ci porta in una città nascosta, celebrandone la diversità e l’energia; nel contempo ci ricorda i suoi terrori e i rischi. In una città di superlativi, forse sono questa fluidità sessuale e l’infinita resilienza che incarnano il vero trionfo della City. Dopo la monumentale opera Londra. Una biografia, l’autore offre un’altra esperienza di lettura unica. Con questo libro Ackroyd lancia un avviso sull’accettazione dell’omosessualità. Trasportandoci in tutti i periodi oscuri della storia gay, Queer City è un preoccupante promemoria di una peculiarità della storia: ciò che è oggi non significa che sarà sempre.

Within cities, gay life has always been marginalized in social, political and cultural terms, even although significant gay places have often been geographically centrally placed. This work looks at the physical and spatial development of gay places over the last 25 years in a social context.
