The Encyclopedia of Homosexuality is an encyclopedic book about homosexuality edited by Wayne R. Dynes. It was published by Garland Publishing in New York, US. [1] The encyclopedia contains 770 articles. [2]
It is written by many different experts and most of the articles are signed. [2]
In 1995 the Encyclopedia was withdrawn by Garland, following accusations in the Chronicle of Higher Education that the editor Dynes had published articles under the pseudonym Evelyn Gettone. [3] Dynes admitted that he had done so and apologized. [4] Dynes subsequently said that this was due to "a pressure group of leftist and feminist activists who viewed the Encyclopedia as lacking in political correctness". [5]
It was reviewed positively by Reference & User Services Quarterly [6] .
It was listed on several "Best Books of the Year" lists. [7]
The articles are written by scholars and experts in many different fields; most are signed and many include bibliographies for further reading.
