ELLIS, Havelock - Studies in the Psychology of Sex PRICE $ 1750 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile THE FIRST MEDICAL TEXT ON HOMOSEXUALITY Watford: The University Press 1897 and 1900, 1897. Two volumes. 8vo. Volume I. Sexual Inversion. 1897. pp. xviii, 204. Volume II. The Evolution of Modesty; The Phenomena of Sexual Periodicity; Auto-Eroticism. 1900. pp. [viii], viii, [1], 314. Eleven plates of diagrams. Original navy blue cloth, lettered in gilt to the spine. Slight bumping to head and foot of spine, rubbing to corners but overall in near-fine condition and now Mylar protected and housed on a custom slipcase. Contents are in excellent condition. A very good example of this rare and important two volume work on sexual psychology. The publishing history is slightly complex as one would expect for, what was then, a controversial subject. Volume I being offered here is the November 1897 reissue (under the title Studies in the Psychology of Sex) of Sexual Inversion, co-authored with John Addington Symonds. This first edition was almost immediately withdrawn and the November 1897 edtion was published under Ellis's sole name but with the October 1897 preface. Volume II, dated 1900, is the true first edition of this volume. Although it claims to have been published by the University Press at Leipzig, it was in fact the University of London press in Watford which published it together with the second issue of Volume I. Despite these early complications, Ellis's book became the leading work on practices regarded, at the time, as perverted at best, criminal at worst. Sexual Inversion sought, through a serious study of the subject following many interviews, undertaken with Symonds, with gay men, to remove the stigma of degeneracy attaching to homosexuality. In Volume II Ellis coined the term auto-eroticism. Henry Havelock Ellis (2 February 1859 – 8 July 1939) was an English-French physician, eugenicist, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He co-wrote the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality in 1897, and also published works on a variety of sexual practices and inclinations, as well as on transgender psychology. He developed the notions of narcissism and auto-eroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis (Wikipedia).

[All of the poems were first printed elsewhere] One of the first influential Black poets in American literature and was internationally acclaimed for his dialectic verse. Dunbar’s literary body is regarded as an impressive representation of Black life in turn-of-the-century America. “Paul Laurence Dunbar stands out as the first poet from the Negro race in the United States to show a combined mastery over poetic material and poetic technique, to reveal innate literary distinction in what he wrote, and to maintain a high level of performance. He was the first to rise to a height from which he could take a perspective view of his own race. He was the first to see objectively its humor, its superstitions, its short-comings; the first to feel sympathetically its heart-wounds, its yearnings, its aspirations, and to voice them all in a purely literary form.” [Johnson, Book of American Poetry] PURCHASE / MORE INFO More items from Blind-Horse-Books Hillerman, Tony Finding Moon [Original color drawing by Ernest Franklin] First Edition, First Print See Item Tolkien, J.R.R.

RIPPLING < Back to Terminology List RIPPLING Defect After becoming wet, a book may develop waves across the surface of the paper as it dries. These waves will follow the grain of the paper. With better paper, the waves will be shallow and difficult to see, although apparent to the touch. Books subjected to moist or humid conditions, like fog, can develop a lesser degree of rippling. The example 1943 AQHA Stud Book and Registry became wet, dried with the wave lines shown, and all pages stuck together. This book is scarce and in poor condition, yet remains a useful Reading Copy as the pages have become unstuck with no losses to text. Previous Next
