Outrages: Sex, Censorship, & the Criminalisation of Love by Naomi Wolf
$16.99
Secondhand paperback very good condition. Published by Virago Press, 2019. Outrages explores the history of state-sponsored censorship and the criminalization of same-sex love in Victorian Britain, using the life of poet and critic John Addington Symonds as a central lens. It examines how laws against sodomy were used to police private letters and homoerotic expression, predating the Oscar Wilde trial by decades. The book connects these persecutions to broader cultural shifts, including efforts to suppress literature and divert attention from feminist critiques of heterosexual improprieties.
