Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe
Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe | John Boswell
2 posts | 6 to read
Both highly praised and intensely controversial, this brilliant book produces dramatic evidence that at one time the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches not only sanctioned unions between partners of the same sex, but sanctified them--in ceremonies strikingly similar to heterosexual marriage ceremonies.

Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe | John Boswell
post image

John Boswell was the chairman of the Yale History Department. He died of AIDS in 1994. As the discussion of gay marriage heated up around the country, I've always been surprised that Boswell's scholarship on same-sex unions did not become more mainstream. Perhaps one reason his papers have not received the widespread attention they deserve: this is academic writing and not bestseller nonfiction-- the footnotes are big enough to come in shoeboxes!

ValerieAndBooks Sadly academic writings are often overlooked, even on important topics like this, especially if published by an university press whose main base are college students. 8y
Hobbinol Great point and beautifully stated. Thank you @ValerieAndBooks ! 8y
