Post on The Macaronis

[erastes]

Hello! I did a blog yesterday over The Macaronis about the various homosexual crimes men were indicted for, namely sodomy, assault with sodomitical intent, and more horrifically, CONSENTING to such an assault. I've briefly discussed it, and given the texts of a couple of cases - all from the wonder Old Bailey Online, which is a godsend to a writer of gay historical fiction between 1670-1910.

I hope you find it interesting.

Interesting research.

And all of that is why I set my historicals in Japan well before the Meiji era.
