4 - The Burial of Homosexuality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2025
Summary
This chapter explores how homosexuality as a term and as a particuar culture was transformed around the time of its legalisation. Through the records of Michael Jaffé, Noel Annan, Alan Turing, Frank Adcock and contemporary figures, the contemporary experience of gay men in Cambridge is explored against the post-war generation. It articulates how a particular style of college life, a hidden centre to the British Establishment, has largely passed away.
