Dares To Speak: Historical And Contemporary Perspectives On Boy-love Paidika

What was Oscar Wilde imprisoned for a hundred years ago if not the love of boys? Today once more, the "love that dares not speak its name" is despised and rejected, as if the sexual mores of classical Greece, medieval Japan or Islamic civilization could be adequately comprehended under a heading such as 'child abuse'. This pioneering anthology gathers contributions from a wide range of international authorities, broadly divided into cross-cultural and historical on the one hands and contemporary controversy on the other. Contributors include Gilbert Herdt, Gisela Bleibtreu-Ehrenberg, Holliday Wakefield and Ralph Underwager, as well as pieces on the Uranian poets and John Henry Mackay, "satanic ritual abuse" and legal changes in the Netherlands.
