"this work concentrates on gay men, because Alison
Laurie is at work on a long awaited lesbian herstory of the same
period. In any case, it includes a few familiar characters, but also a
few unfamiliar ones. The Church Missionary Society's Reverend Yates
puts in an appearance, and then we are on to wholly new territory.
Chris managed to dig these out from kept family and archival
correspondence, oral histories from older men, Dunedin Supreme Court
records, the odd medical and psychiatric journal clinical report, and
inclusion of some ephemera."
