Reader’s Guide To Lesbian And Gay Studies by Timothy F. Murphy

'The Reader's Guide to Lesbian and Gay Studies' surveys the field in some 470 entries on individuals (Adrienne Rich); arts and cultural studies (Dance); ethics, religion, and philosophical issues (Monastic Traditions); historical figures, periods, and ideas (Germany between the World Wars); language, literature, and communication (British Drama); law and politics (Child Custody); medicine and biological sciences (Health and Illness); and psychology, social sciences, and education (Kinsey Report). Among the numerous reference books in the area of gay-lesbian-queer studies, there is none that is planned and structured along the same lines as this volume, as a critical and explanatory guide to the wide range of literature available on these topics. An international team of some 200 scholars has contributed to this guide.
