Alan Sinfield’s review in Gay Times
“This well-researched book is carefully argued
throughout. It is also vivid, full of lively instances and entirely readable.”
David McIness’s review in Australian
Humanities Review
“David Coad’s research and scholarship is
thorough and detailed. More than this, however, the material he considers is
engrossing…gripping, exhilarating and confronting history.”
Xavier Pons’s review in Commonwealth
“Coad’s analyses are often compelling and
illuminating. They propose a subversive perspective which effectively counteracts
the stereotypes to which Australian culture is often reduced.”
Robert Aldrich’s review in Sexualities
“This readable and provocative book itself
provides an appraisal of the performance of gender in Australia, a society that
offers fascinating variations on, and perspectives into, sexuality in the ages
of both colonialism and globalization.”
Michael O’Rourke’s review in HistSex
“Coad has written the very best of queer
history.”
