Hardcover. James VI & I had a series of notorious male favourites. These affairs were almost certainly sexual. They diminished the majesty of the monarchy and raised the spectre of a sodomitical court and effeminized nation. It is a story of political intrigue coloured by sodomy, pederasty, and gender instability as backdrop to the English Civil War. Num Pages: 264 pages.

Hardback. Michel Winock situates Flaubert in France's century of great democratic transition.

His loathing became a fixation and a source of literary inspiration. Translator(s): Elliot, Nicholas. Num Pages: 528 pages, 32 halftones. BIC Classification: BGL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 246 x 167 x 44. Weight in Grams: 978.
