SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The anarchists Kissack examines -- such as Emma Goldman, Benjamin Tucker, and Alexander Berkman -- defended the right of individuals to pursue same-sex relations, often challenging the conservative beliefs of their fellow anarchists, as well as those outside the movement -- police, clergy, and medical authorities -- who condemned LGBT people. In his book, Kissack examines the trial and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, the life and work of Walt Whitman, periodicals including Tucker's Liberty and Leonard Abbott's The Free Comrade, and the frank treatment of homosexual relations in Berkman's Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist."--P.
