This beautifully illustrated book showcases how LGBTQ+ people and their stories have played an important role in the creative history of the nation.The National Trust cares for an extraordinary diversity of cultural heritage created by LGBTQ+ people who challenged conventional notions of gender and sexuality. This book brings together a range of these remarkable individuals in a visually sumptuous appreciation of queer creativity, celebrating the cultural contributions made by those whose lives did not align with the prevailing expectations of their time.With each entry anchored by a particular object or space, the authors explore the life, work and impact of individuals who have expressed themselves within shifting legal and social landscapes, illuminating the wider historical context. Arranged in six broadly chronological sections, starting in Georgian Britain and ending with contemporary queer creatives, the book concludes with a handy gazetteer of key National Trust places with queer connections.
