John Boswell 12323

Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality. Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century

University of Chicago Press, 1980. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 424. "Truly groundbreaking work. Boswell reveals unexplored phenomena with an unfailing erudition.""Michel Foucault John Boswell's National Book Award-winning study of the history of attitudes toward homosexuality in the early Christian West was a groundbreaking work that challenged preconceptions about the Church's past relationship to its gay members"among them priests, bishops, and even saints"when it was first published twenty-five years ago. The historical breadth of Boswell's research (from the Greeks to Aquinas) and the variety of sources consulted make this one of the most extensive treatments of any single aspect of Western social history. Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality, still fiercely relevant today, helped form the disciplines of gay and gender studies, and it continues to illuminate the origins and operations of intolerance as a social force.

John Boswell 12323

The Kindness of Strangers

Pantheon Books, 1988. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 488. In his first book, John Boswell defined and charted a whole new field of inquiry. In this one, he brings to bear what Michel Foucault called his "unfailing erudition" on an equally untouched topic. Intrigued by hints in Christian literature that children were routinely abandoned, not only in the ancient world, but well into the Middle Ages, and that these children did not die but were used as servants and prostitutes, or brought up in other households, Boswell undertook to explore the past of this remarkable subject. Using a wide variety of sources-including civil and canon law, trial records, foundling-hospital archives, and artistic representations-Boswell has pieced together the intriguing story behind ancient and medieval abandonment. He discovers that it was a widespread and familiar part of domestic life in most of Europe, a custom accepted and regulated by the church and civil authorities, often celebrated in literature, and, in the absence of reliable birth control, a practice that was often essential to the survival of the rest of the family. Against the background of modern concerns-both historical and social-about the family and its problems, Boswell's work provides a startling perspective on the difficulties faced by parents and children in earlier societies. It is a story that is moving for the desperation that drove parents to abandon their children, for the tenderness and generosity that inspired others to rescue them, and for the many subtle ways Western culture devised to see that abandoned children would be saved and reared by the kindness of strangers. -Adapted from dust jacket.
