Title: Vicious and Immoral Author: John Gilbert McCurdy Narrator: John Gilbert McCurdy Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins Release date: 06-18-24 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: LGBTQ+ Studies Publisher's Summary: On the eve of the American Revolution, the British army considered the case of a chaplain, Robert Newburgh, who had been accused of having sex with a man. Newburgh's enemies cited his flamboyant appearance, defiance of military authority, and seduction of soldiers as proof of his low character. His opponents claimed that these supposed crimes against nature translated to crimes against the king. In Vicious and Immoral, historian John McCurdy tells this compelling story of male intimacy and provides an unparalleled glimpse inside eighteenth-century perceptions of queerness.
