Inhalt
This is the story of the trial that shook Victorian England - a tale of cross-dressing, cross-examination and the invention of camp. Fanny and Stella were no ordinary young women. They were young men who liked to dress as women: Frederick Park and Ernest Boulton, two young clerks, part-time actresses and part-time prostitutes. Stella was the most beautiful female impersonator of her day, Fanny her inseparable companion. When the Metropolitan Police launched a secret campaign to bring about their downfall, they were arrested and subjected to a sensational show trial in Westminster Hall. If found guilty, they faced life imprisonment. With a cast of peers, politicians and prostitutes, drag queens, doctors and detectives, this book is a Victorian peepshow, exposing the underbelly of 19th-century London.
