Sex, Time and Place: Queer Histories of London, c.1850 to the Present Paperback – April 19, 2018
by Simon Avery and Katherine M. Graham
The Cannibal Club was populated by several somewhat eccentric personalities of the time: along with Richard Burton, vice president of the Anthropological Society, founder of the Club and one of the most famous translators of pornographic Oriental literature of his time, members included J. Frederick Collingwood (1829-1910), the assistant secretary of the Anthropological Society. The term ‘cannibalism’ eventually came to function as a shorthand for male–male desire within the group.
