Description

The Wolfenden Report of 1957 has long been recognized as a landmark in moves towards gay law reform. Less well known are the testimonials and statements of witnesses before the Wolfenden Committee, which provide the most complete and extensive array of perspectives we have on how homosexuality was understood in mid-twentieth century Britain.
