Histoire des sodomites traces the evolution of societal attitudes toward homosexuality in France, weaving together legal, cultural, and personal narratives. Drawing on archival documents, court records, and contemporary accounts, the book examines how the term "sodomite" has been used to marginalize and criminalize queer identities from the Middle Ages to the present day. It contextualizes these developments within broader shifts in French law, religious doctrine, and public opinion, offering a nuanced portrait of the struggle for recognition and rights. The work is valuable for scholars of LGBTQ+ history, legal studies, and French cultural history, providing a comprehensive overview of a topic that has often been overlooked in mainstream historiography.
