'In this moving and revelatory book, Anthony Delaney gives a voice to women and men whose lives have been written out of history. At heart, Queer Georgians is about the triumph of love in adversity' Hallie Rubenhold
`A fascinating story, beautifully told . . . I was utterly enthralled from the first page to the last` Tracy Borman
`Anthony Delaney is a superb public historian` Dan Snow
In this dazzling work of restorative history, Dr Anthony Delaney has traced the stories of people daring to challenge society's expectations, unearthing archives and court records to reveal the tragedies and the joys of queer life three centuries ago. From Mother Clap`s Holborn coffee house to the Ladies of Llangollen`s utopian homestead, Delaney breathes new life into the forgotten and offers radical new interpretations of celebrated figures such as Anne Lister and the Chevalier d'Éon. Queer Georgians is an invitation to view our shared history in a whole new light.
