Sex, Politics, and Society: The Regulation of Sexuality Since 1800

A comprehensive study by Jeffrey Weeks exploring the evolution of attitudes towards sexuality since 1800. This seminal work delves into three central themes: the significance of sexuality in Victorian society; its emergence as a subject of social, scientific, and political discourse around the turn of the century; and its subsequent place in 20th-century consciousness and social policy. The book features specific chapters dedicated to the social construction of the concept of homosexuality, as well as the impactful roles of feminist and socialist movements in shaping sexual discourse and policy. Published in 1981, this paperback edition is in good condition.
