Reviews
"This book throws important new light on our understanding of the cultural role of sexology, the would-be 'science of desire', in shaping ideas of sexuality during the twentieth century. The individual essays are compelling and enjoyable, while the volume as a whole shows the complexity of the sexological endeavour: constitutive and enabling, liberal and conservative, marginal at first and yet vital in the shaping of modern sexual discourses." Professor Jeffrey Weeks, South Bank University, London"This fascinating collection is a vital addition to our knowledge of sexual theory and its consequences." Professor Sheila Rowbotham, University of Manchester and author of A Century of Women"Sexology in Culture will surely come to be seen as a milestone." Times Literary Supplement"The reader gets a rich flavour of source material alongside incisive critical analysis; a productive combination for student, academic and general reader." The Times Higher Education Supplement" Sexology in Culture is an excellent collection of the kind of focused studies that have made the history of sexuality such a dynamic research field in recent years.an admirable collection informative, well-organized and intellectually stimulating" Chandak Sengoopta, University of Manchester, Medical History, "This book throws important new light on our understanding of the cultural role of sexology, the would-be 'science of desire', in shaping ideas of sexuality during the twentieth century.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
