Book excerpt: This limerick, and thousands like it, was vandalized over time: . An envious man named McMeanus Was jealous of his boyfriend's big penis. It was small consolation That the rest of the nation Of men were with him in weeness. This gay original was eventually disfigured and disseminated with a heterosexual context. The popular hetero version shoehorns in a woman, identified with the same masculine surname, whose small consolation is that "the rest of the nation of women were with her in weeness." A nation of women does not, in fact, sport small penises. This awkward, absurd, and inexplicable erasure of the original gay context and meaning is a prime example of the limerick genre's shameful, homophobic history. The Freudian "penis envy" overlay is just the cherry here, exposing the deeply twisted mind of the revisionist poet. This collection of endangered gay limericks is herein restored from the oral tradition, having been propagated by linguists, English professors, and sexologists over the decades. Most all of these poems are in print for the very first time. May their publication go a long way toward correcting the homophobic wrongs that others boldly printed in the face of common decency and morality. The reader is invited to imagine these poems vandalized (as indeed they were) into non-gay language and to wonder over the needless, unethical corruption of natural expressions into abominations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there any legends about cats? Is Cinderella an English story? What is (or was) a Mumming Play? The subject of folklore covers an extremely wide field, with connections to virtually every aspect of life. It ranges from the bizarre to the seemingly mundane. Similarly, folklore is as much afeature of the modern technological age as the ancient world, of every part of the country, both urban and rural, and of every age group and occupation. Containing 2,000 entries, from dragons to Mother Goose, May Day to Michaelmas, this new reference work is an absorbing and entertaining guide to English folklore. Aimed at a broad general readership, the dictionary provides an authoritative reference source on such legendary characters as the Babesin the Wood, Jack the Giant Killer, and Robin Hood, and gives entertaining and informative explanations of a wide range of subjects in folklore, from nosebleeds and wishbones to cats and hot cross buns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first collection of critical essays that explores Oscar Wilde’s interest in children’s culture, whether in relation to his famous fairy stories, his life as a caring father to two small boys, his place as a defender of children’s rights within the prison system, his fascination with youthful beauty, and his theological contemplation of what it means to be a child in the eyes of God. The collection also examines the ways in which Wilde’s works—not just his fairy stories—have been adapted for young audiences.

Book excerpt: The definitive account of the gay rights movement, Dudley Clendinen and Adam Nagourney's Out for Good is comprehensive, authoritative, and excellently written. This is the definitive account of the last great struggle for equal rights in the twentieth century. From the birth of the modern gay rights movement in 1969, at the Stonewall riots in New York, through 1988, when the gay rights movement was eclipsed by the more urgent demands of AIDS activists, this is the remarkable and—until now—untold story of how a largely invisible population of men and women banded together to create their place in America’s culture and government. Told through the voices of gay activists and their opponents, filled with dozens of colorful characters, Out for Good traces the emergence of gay rights movements in cities across the country and their transformation into a national force that changed the face of America forever. Out for Good is the unforgettable chronicle of an important—and nearly lost—chapter in American history.
