Queer spaces are crucial for the construction of LGBTQ+ communities as they constitute places
where queer subjects can create political social and affective alliances. Júlia Braga Neves
shows how these spaces are pivotal for the representation of queer history in the fictional
works by the British authors Sarah Waters and Alan Hollinghurst whose characters and plots are
articulated through and within London's sexual geographies. Considering the intersection
between gender sexuality and class this study engages with spatial queer feminist and
Marxist theories as a means to reflect on London queer historiography and the relationship
between subject and urban space.
