Edward Carpenter Brings German Sexology to Sheffield

大象传媒 New Generation Thinker Se谩n Williams explores the writing life of Edward Carpenter, Sheffield-based gay rights writer and campaigner. Carpenter wrote an important lecture on the cultural history of homosexuality - but it remained unpublished, because it was due to be given on the eve of the First World War. Se谩n Williams reveals the contents of this lecture, which was - rather surprisingly - written in German - the unofficial language of homosexuality at the time.
Contributors: Writer and historian Sally Goldsmith; Jana Funke, Associate Professor of English and Sexuality Studies at the University of Exeter.
Producer: Eliane Glaser
Reader: Michael Bertenshaw
Music: 'Meditation' by Edward Carpenter, performed by Alan Rowlands.
