Summary
The Classics were core to Victorian and Edwardian public school curricula, yet texts with sexual content were regularly expurgated. This text explores the nexus between the Classics, sex, and education through the writings of schoolmaster Philip Gillespie Bainbrigge, which explore homoerotic desires and comment on classical education of the time.
