Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Think of it as buried treasure: two cardboard boxfuls of dusty negatives and yellowed letters, the only surviving evidence of love between two Englishmen who had spent more than half a century together...This is social history at its most personal and vivid (Out)

Fascinatingly combines startlingly frank photographs with an absorbing text which pulls back a little further the curtain that still obscures so much of our history (Gay Times)

His photographs conjure up a deeply personal and touching portrayal of an era (Tribune)

A truly eye-opening collection (Genre)

A sexy and problematic gay memoir (VLS)

An enthralling book; imaginatively conceived. lovingly compiled and attractively produced. But, above all, it's an important one (Rouge)

Glover's photographs seem erotically innocent, not pornographic; but that's their great charm (IN Newsweekly)

Reseña del editor:

A Class Apart is a selection of photographs and letters culled from the archive of Montague Glover (1898-1983), documenting the intimate, rarely recorded lives of gay men in Britain from the First World War to the 1950s. The book features Glover's three obsessions: the Armed Forces, working class men, and his lifelong lover Ralph Hall. A seamless blend of the personal and the historical make A Class Apart a unique portrait of a secret relationship and of an undiscovered period in British gay history.
