Description: "Gay male sexuality has alwas been represented in contexts of widely diverging visibility and acceptance. The first two-thirds of the twentieth century witnessed intensifying waves of queer self-identification through erotic images and at the same time cycles of societal suppression. Out/Lines resurrects a heritage of explicit homoerotic illustrations, once buried and invisible to all but the clandestine communities who produced, circulated and treasured them. Here is a wealth of 200 previously unpublished "obscene" graphics from the pre-stonewall underground."
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [291]-292) and index.
