About this work
Description
It is well known that much of our modern vocabulary of sex emerged within 19th-century German sexology. But how were the 'German ideas' translated into English culture? This study provides an examination of the formation of sexual theory between the 1860s and 1930s and its migration across national and disciplinary boundaries.
