  How have major civilizations of the last two millennia treated people who were attracted to their own sex? In a narrative tour de force, Louis Crompton chronicles the lives and achievements of homosexual men and women alongside a darker history of persecution. Sweeping in scope, elegantly crafted, and lavishly illustrated, this is a stunning exploration of a rich and terrible past.
