CHARL GAY

Stephen Noble explor mancript sourc rerdg homosexualy 17th-century England, g recently talogued material the Harley llectn.

The term ‘homosexualy’ was ed the 19th century and we nnot know how people om the past would intify wh the language we e today. The Buggery Act of 1533 crimalised homosexual activy between men and as a rult, rerds of people self-intifyg are rare. This also means that, as female homosexual acts were not specifilly crimalised, rerds of male homosexualy are more prevalent.

JAM SHERWOOD GAY

In the English imagatn, homosexualy was often lked wh foreigners, pecially Catholics and Italians (‘ the Italian way’ was another phemism for sodomy). Perhaps the poet is g homosexualy as a metaphor and, by referrg to Shrewsbury as a ‘patient bardash’, is implyg that he had not tly changed his relig views? Another example of this lk between homosexualy and Catholicism English satire is the play Sodom, or the Qutsence of Debchery, one of the few remag mancript pi of which surviv the Harley llectn.
