Queer Georgians - a talk at Bath Royal Literary & Scientific Institution

Queer Georgians explores the lives of LGBTQ+ people in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain. Challenging assumptions about gender and sexuality in the Georgian era, the talk uncovers histories of same-sex relationships, gender nonconformity, and the spaces where queer life thrived.

It focuses on Bath in particular, where a thriving queer subculture was played out across the city’s vibrant social scene. By revealing these hidden histories, we deepen our understanding of the colourful complexities of queer experience in Georgian Britain.
