520    "Originally passed in 1885, the law that had made 
       homosexual relations a crime remained in place for 82 
       years. But during this time, restrictions on same-sex 
       relationships did not go unchallenged. Between 1891 and 
       1908, three books on the nature of homosexuality appeared.
       They were written by two homosexual men: Edward Carpenter 
       and John Addington Symonds, and a third, Havelock Ellis. 
       At this time, the study of homosexuality was limited 
       almost exclusively to the European continent. Books that 
       were circulated freely in Europe were hardly known in 
       England, and men who loved men were pushed to the margins 
       of a society where masculinity was strenuously upheld. 
       Carpenter and Symonds' story and their brave stand against
       persecution is largely forgotten, but in such a hostile 
       environment, their publications were highly significant. 
       They were the first English contributions to the 
       scientific understanding of homosexuality, and, more 
       importantly, opened the long struggle for the legal 
       recognition of same-sex love that was finally achieved in 
       1967.The Fraternity of the Estranged will speak 
       principally to the LGBT community and, in a time more 
       accepting of sexual diversity, to a wider readership. It 
       will also appeal to readers interested in history as it 
       recounts what it was like to be homosexual in late-
       Victorian England."
