What is Nameless Offences : Homosexual Desire in the Nineteenth Century about?

"Homosexuality became increasingly visible in 19th-century English society and problems related to the "secret vice" and the "love that dare not speak its name" go to the root of Victorian social and cultural history. This book shows how the homosexual "closet" was created.
