Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Henry Havelock Ellis, known as Havelock Ellis (2 February 1859 - 8 July 1939), was an English physician, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He was co-author of 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 transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the notions of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis. Like many intellectuals of his era, he supported eugenics and he served as president of the Eugenics Society. A concise introduction to sexual psychology primarily intended for medical readers and students but also aimed at a wider audience with its expert guidance and advice on numerous sexual topics. Ellis' Studies in the Psychology of Sex is a comprehensive and groundbreaking encyclopaedia of human sexual biology, behaviour, and attitudes. In separate volumes he examined such topics as homosexuality, masturbation, and the physiology of sexual behaviour. Ellis viewed sexual activity as the healthy and natural expression of love, and he sought to dissipate the fear and ignorance that characterized many people's attitudes toward human sexuality. His work helped to foster the open discussion of sexual problems, and he became known as a champion of women's rights and of sex education. Contents Volume 4 include: SEXUAL SELECTION IN MAN: I.

Henry Havelock Ellis, known as Havelock Ellis (2 February 1859 - 8 July 1939), was an English physician, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He was co-author of 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 transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the notions of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis. Like many intellectuals of his era, he supported eugenics and he served as president of the Eugenics Society. Early life and teaching career: Ellis, son of Edward Peppen Ellis and Susannah Mary Wheatley, was born in Croydon, Surrey (now part of Greater London). He had four sisters, none of whom married. His father was a sea captain, his mother the daughter of a sea captain, and many other relatives lived on or near the sea. When he was seven his father took him on one of his voyages, during which they called at Sydney, Callao and Antwerp. After his return, Ellis attended the French and German College near Wimbledon, and afterward attended a school in Mitcham. In April 1875, Ellis sailed on his father's ship for Australia; soon after his arrival in Sydney, he obtained a position as a master at a private school. After the discovery of his lack of training, he was fired and became a tutor for a family living a few miles from Carcoar. He spent a year there and then obtained a position as a master at a grammar school in Grafton. The headmaster had died and Ellis carried on the school for that year, but was unsuccessful. At the end of the year, he returned to Sydney and, after three months' training, was given charge of two government part-time elementary schools, one at Sparkes Creek, near Scone, New South Wales and the other at Junction Creek. He lived at the school house on Sparkes Creek for a year. He wrote in his autobiography, "In Australia, I gained health of body, I attained peace of soul, my life task was revealed to me, I was able to decide on a professional vocation, I became an artist in literature . . . these five points covered the whole activity of my life in the world. Some of them I should doubtless have reached without the aid of the Australian environment, scarcely all, and most of them I could never have achieved so completely if chance had not cast me into the solitude of the Liverpool Range." Medicine and psychology: Ellis returned to England in April 1879. He had decided to take up the study of sex, and felt his first step must be to qualify as a physician. He studied at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School now part of King's College London, but never had a regular medical practice. His training was aided by a small legacy and also income earned from editing works in the Mermaid Series of lesser known Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. He joined The Fellowship of the New Life in 1883, meeting other social reformers Eleanor Marx, Edward Carpenter and George Bernard Shaw.The 1897 English translation of Ellis's book Sexual Inversion, co-authored with John Addington Symonds and originally published in German in 1896, was the first English medical textbook on homosexuality. It describes the sexual relations of homosexual males, including men with boys. Ellis wrote the first objective study of homosexuality, as he did not characterise it as a disease, immoral, or a crime. The work assumes that same-sex love transcended age taboos as well as gender taboos. In 1897 a bookseller was prosecuted for stocking Ellis's book. Although the term homosexual is attributed to Ellis, he wrote in 1897, "'Homosexual' is a barbarously hybrid word, and I claim no responsibility for it."....

The chief object of this volume is to exhibit, in a manner acceptable to readers who are not specialists, the application of the principles and methods which guide investigations into popular traditions to a few of the most remarkable stories embodying the Fairy superstitions of the Celtic and Teutonic peoples. Some of the subjects discussed have already been dealt with by more competent inquirers. But even in these cases I have sometimes been able to supply additional illustrations of the conclusions previously arrived at, and occasionally, I hope, to carry the argument a step or two further than had been done before. I have thus tried to render the following pages not wholly valueless to students.

The Nationalization of Health is a book written by Havelock Ellis in 1892. In this book, Ellis advocates for the nationalization of healthcare in England. He argues that healthcare is a fundamental right and should be provided by the government to all citizens, regardless of their social status or economic situation.Ellis critiques the existing healthcare system of his time, which was largely based on private healthcare providers and charity hospitals. He argues that this system was inadequate and unable to provide adequate care to the poor and working-class people who could not afford private healthcare.Ellis proposes a nationalized healthcare system that would be funded by the government and run by trained medical professionals. He argues that this system would be more efficient, cost-effective, and equitable than the existing system.The book also includes a discussion of the social and economic benefits of nationalized healthcare, including improved public health, increased productivity, and reduced healthcare costs.Overall, The Nationalization of Health is a groundbreaking work that advocates for a more equitable and accessible healthcare system. It remains relevant today as debates about healthcare reform continue around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Philosophy of Conflict: And Other Essays in Wartime is a collection of essays written by Havelock Ellis in 1919. The book explores the philosophical and psychological aspects of war, including the causes of conflict, the nature of violence, and the impact of war on individuals and society. Ellis argues that war is not a natural or inevitable part of human existence, but rather a product of certain historical and cultural conditions. He also examines the role of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism in shaping attitudes towards war, and suggests that a more rational and humane approach to conflict resolution is necessary. The essays in this book offer a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex and often tragic nature of war, and provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the ethics and politics of armed conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This is a new edition of "The New Spirit," originally published in 1892 by Walter Scott, Ltd., of London. Part of Adeptio's "The Best of Havelock Ellis Collection," from the "Unforgettable Classic Series," this is not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Adeptio Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. "The New Spirit" was Havelock Ellis' first book, a collection of literary essays on Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoi, originally published in 1890. The book explores "the new spirit" that has come into the world. Showing deep understanding of his times, Ellis discusses the sciences of anthropology, sociology, and political science; the increasing importance of women-which he believed to be the most significant movement of his time-the approaching disappearance of war, and art and religion as a means to seek rest. This is the original third edition. "The New Spirit" is considered one of Havelock's masterpieces and helped establish Havelock's reputation throughout the world. About the Author: Havelock Ellis was a social activist, a physician and a psychologist, whose best-known works concern sexuality and criminology. Among his over forty books, in 1890 he published "The Criminal," a remarkable work on criminal anthropology. In the same year, he published "The New Spirit," a collection of literary essays on Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy, and Ellis's attempt to synthesize science and religious mysticism. In 1898 he wrote "Affirmations," which contains essays on Nietzsche, Casanova, Zola, Huysmans, and St. Francis. In 1897, he published "Sexual Inversion," the first medical text in English about homosexuality, which he had co-authored with John Addington Symonds in an earlier edition, and which became a part of Ellis's six-volume "Studies in the Psychology of Sex." In 1922, he published "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," which aimed primarily at young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence, who were in the author's thoughts in all the studies he wrote of sex because he was of that age when he first vaguely planned them. These titles are part of our "Unforgettable Classic Series: The Best of Havelock Ellis Collection." Born in Surrey, England, in 1859, Havelock Ellis was considered by the overwhelming majority of critics as the best translator of "Germinal," Émile Zola`s masterpiece. Ellis was associated with the Decadent movement and with the "Lutetian Society," a secret literary society, through which authors and translators like himself were able to provide British readers with translations of works which were often antagonistic to the Victorian ideals of morality-such as some of Émile Zola's controversial novels-aiming at expanding the cultural horizons of the few lucky readers who had access to them. Havelock Ellis died in Suffolk, England, in 1939.

A primeira edição integral em português do clássico de Havelock Ellis sobre homossexualidade. No final do século XIX, Ellis teve a coragem de publicar abertamente um estudo detalhado e desapaixonado sobre a problemática da inversão sexual, que recentemente havia condenado Oscar Wilde à prisão e nos séculos anteriores classificara os culpados do "nefando pecado" como hereges e degenerados.Ao longo de 7 capítulos, Ellis descreve a homossexualidade no mundo, os principais estudiosos da matéria, a homossexualidade nos homens e nas mulheres, apresentando um grande número de casos e depoimentos reais, a natureza e a teoria da inversão sexual, terminando com um capítulo de conclusões. Esta edição conta ainda com dois apêndices, sobre a homossexualidade nas escolas femininas e a homossexualidade entre os vagabundos, e uma extensa lista de tópicos e de autores.

This is a new edition of "The Criminal," originally published in 1890 by Scribner & Welford, of New York. Part of the project Immortal Literature Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1890-not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. "The Criminal" is a remarkable work on criminal anthropology-a new science which arose in Italy in the nineteenth century. Full of fascinating interest, it is one of the very first works on criminology written in English about the scientific study of the criminal. In 1902, the Westminster Review recommended the book saying that "as a handbook for legislators, jurists, and prison officials it is of paramount value." In "The Criminal," Havelock Ellis arrays his facts in order, providing plenty of data and stating his findings with accuracy when describing the physical, moral, social, emotional and religious aspects, among many others, related to what Cesare Lombroso termed the "born criminal," and what Ellis preferred to call the "instinctive criminal." "The Criminal" became one of the main sources researchers seek for information on "born" or "instinctive criminals." About the Author: Born in Surrey, England, in 1859, Havelock Ellis was considered by the overwhelming majority of critics as the best translator of "Germinal," Émile Zola`s masterpiece.
