In nineteenth-century England, sodomy was punishable by death. The last executions for this private, consensual act were in 1835, but the law was not successfully changed until 1861. This groundbreaking book recounts the untold story of the political process through which the law was almost ended in 1841. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Atmospheres of Violence
Before Trans
Three Gender Stories from Nineteenth-Century France Rachel Mesch
Structuring Antagonism and the Trans/Queer Ungovernable Eric A. Stanley Eric A. Stanley examines the forms of violence levied against trans/queer and gender nonconforming people in the United States and shows how, despite the advances in LGBTQ rights in the recent past, forms of anti-trans/queer violence is central to liberal democracy and state power. DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Before the term "transgender" existed, there were those who experienced their gender in complex ways. Before Trans examines the lives and writings of Jane Dieulafoy (1850–1916), Rachilde (1860–1953), and Marc de Montifaud (1845–1912), three French writers who expressed their gender in ways that did not conform to nineteenth-century notions of femininity.
