Although her interests are more general, Dowling devotes a chapter to
examining the Tractarian, or Oxford movement in the Church of England,
which led to many converts to Roman Catholicism as well as the modern
Anglo-Catholic movement. She discusses the homosexuality in the lives of
figures such as Gerard Manly Hopkins, Fr. William Faber and John Henry
Newman, relying at times on Geoffrey Faber's book cited here below,
Faber, Geoffrey, The Oxford Apostles, (London: 1933)
Discusses homosexuality in the Anglo-Catholic movement, and of such Roman
converts as Newman, Richard Hurrell Froude, Fr. Frederick Faber. Faber's
book was the first to name names.

Healy, Murray, Gay Skins : Class, Masculinity and Queer Appropriation,
(London: Cassell Academic, 1996)
[From blurb] Murray Healy contests the myths of masculinity that constitute
and are seemingly evidenced by the skinhead, and challenges assumptions
about class, queerness and real men. He deconstructs the authentic
masculinity of the skinhead, drawing parallels between the extreme
masculinization of the skinhead and homoerotic desire and fantasy. He
suggests that straight and gay skinss lifestyles are radically similar.
Healy assesses what gay men have done to the hardest youth cult of them
all, and how it has transformed the gay scene.

Account of a famous Anglo-Catholic ritualist church in London which even in
1913 was, as the book says, "a young man's church". The Church in over 150
years never seems to have had anything other than homosexual clergy. Its
annual St. Alban's Day dedicatory mass is one of the campest events in
Britain's ecclesiastical calendar, only matched by the annual
Anglo-Catholic pilgrimmage to Walsingham.
