Review: Mother Clap's Molly House: The Gay Subculture in England 1700-1830

User Review  - Gilly McGillicuddy - Goodreads

Oh come, with a title like that you know I had to read it. It was very readable, both when he was talking about the molly subculture in general and when he was talking about certain gay men in particular, so it both satisfied my lust for stories and for history. Nice. Read full review
