The poisoned bowl : sex and the public school

A. Hickson

Geschiedenis van de onderdrukking van seksualiteit (en homoseksualiteit) op Britse scholen als Eton. Bevat herinneringen van oudleerlingen. This is an anecdotal history of sex in public schools, containing the reminiscences of over 100 contributors, including Alan Ayckbourn, Quentin Crisp, the late film director, Lindsay Anderson, and numerous sundry generals, academics, religious figures and Members of Parliament. With recollections on events from petting in the boathouse at Lancing to prostitution at Eton, the book charts the many ludicrous ways public schools have attempted to control sexuality. The book provides a history of homosexuality in the English public school system and the hysteria that raged through public schools for more than a century.
