Taken together, these documents suggest that male and female same-sex relations played a more visible public role in Enlightenment-era society than was previously believed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe translated and annotated sources included here show how robust the same-sex subculture was in eighteenth-century Paris, as well as how widespread the policing of sodomy was at the time. Part 1 includes archival police records from the 1720s to the 1780s that show how the police attempted to manage sodomitical activity through surveillance and repression; part 2 includes excerpts from treatises and encyclopedias, published \u003ci\u003enouvelles\u003c\/i\u003e (collections of news) and \u003ci\u003elibelles\u003c\/i\u003e (libelous writings), fictive portrayals, and Enlightenment treatments of the topic that include calls for legal reform. Together these sources show how contemporaries understood same-sex relations in multiple contexts and cultures, including their own. The resulting volume is an unprecedented look at the role of same-sex relations in the culture and society of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product of years of archival research curated, translated, and annotated by a premier expert in the field, \u003ci\u003eSodomites, Pederasts, and Tribades in Eighteenth-Century France\u003c\/i\u003e provides a foundational primary text for the study and teaching of the history of sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJeffrey Merrick\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
