Queer Wales: The History, Culture and Politics of Queer Life in Wales: Gender Studies in Wales

The relationship between the idea of the nation and queer sexuality has long been a fraught one, for the sustaining myths of the former are often at odds with the needs of the latter. Queer Wales is a collection of multidisciplinary essays that introduces readers to important historical and cultural figures and moments in queer life in Wales from the eighteenth century to the present. The book considers literature, art history, film, television, drama, crime, motherhood, and education, among other topics, and addresses some of the urgent questions of queer belonging that face Wales today.
