This book looks specifically and in depth, for the first time, at masculinity in cheap, lesbian-themed paperbacks of the two decades after WW2. It challenges established critical assumptions about the readership, and sets the masculinity imagined in these novels against the "masculinity crisis" of the era in which they were written.

Autorenporträt
Paul Thompson, PhD from University of St Andrew's, Scotland, is a former career civil servant who, on retirement, decided to become a scholar. Paul's research continues in lesbian-themed paperbacks, not only looking at the erasure of diversity and the overlap of trans narratives but also setting up an archive of the paperbacks in Special Collections at the Library of the University of St Andrews. Paul's most recent publication is a chapter outlining the philosophical influences on Sebald in W.G. Sebald in Context.
