Forbidden Friendships by Rocke
At the core of this study of Renaissance Florence is the seventy year history of the Office of the Night, created in 1432 to police sexual behavior in Florence. In documenting their history, Rocke provides a vivid portrait of a culture in which sodomy was an accepted characteristic of masculine identity. As acceptance turned to repression, Rocke details the concurrent changes in public attitudes and private practices.
Rocke does a brilliant job of teasing out this wealth of material, and of presenting the complex relationships which underlie the criminal statistics.. this book makes a substantial contribution to the history of homosexuality. * Tim Hitchcock, Urban History *
