Quarto in glossy white illsu wraps; xix, 526 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm ; bibliographical references and indexes. "A dream in which a man has sex with his mother may promise him political or commercial success--according to dream interpreters of late antiquity, who, unlike modern Western analysts, would not necessarily have drawn conclusions from the dream about the dreamer's sexual psychology. Evidence of such shifts in perspective is leading scholars to reconsider in a variety of creative ways the history of sexuality. In these fifteen original essays, eminent cultural historians and classicists not only discuss sex, but demonstrate how norms, practices, and even the very definitions of what counts as sexual activity have varied significantly over time. Ancient Greece offers abundant evidence for a radically different set of sexual standards and behaviors from ours. Sex in ancient Hellenic culture assumed a variety of social and political meanings, whereas the modern development of a sex-centered model of personality now leads us to view sex as the key to understanding the individual. Drawing on both the Anglo-American tradition of cultural anthropology and the French tradition of les sciences humaines, these essays explore the iconography, politics, ethics, poetry, and medical practices that made sex in ancient Greece not a paradise of liberation but an exotic locale hardly recognizable to visitors from the modern world." ó Publisher. / Contents: Herakles : the super-male and the feminine /; Nicole Loraux --; The sexual life of satyrs /; Francois Lissarrague --; Aspects of Baubo : ancient texts and contexts /; Maurice Olender --; From sex to politics : the rites of Artemis Triklaria and Dionysos Aisymnetes at Patras /; James Redfield --; Putting her in her place : woman, dirt, and desire /; Anne Carson --; Laying down the law : the oversight of men's sexual behavior in classical Athens /; John J.

Dark blue octavo in black DJ, 264 pages ; 23 cm. Inscribed and signed by author. || Clergy -- Sexual behavior -- Fiction. || Archbishop Mark Doyle, a church reformer and a martial arts expert, falls wildly in love with his therapist, Miriam Faberini. Their love affair would be enough to complicate a celibate bishop's life, but his troubles multiply when two of his priests are murdered. A clandestine Catholic group claims responsibility for both killings, and vows to eliminate Doyle as a symbol of corrupt liberalism. The Vatican demands that Doyle account for damaging allegations against him. His shadowy nemesis, a priest defrocked for sexually abusing teenage boys, dogs the Archbishop's every step. His story displays key tensions agitating the still medieval structures of today's church.

Octavo in reddish brown color illus DJ, xii, 284 pages, 24 cm. DJ protected in archival mylar sleeve. || "Bisexuality was intrinsic to the cultures of the ancient world. In both Greece and Rome, same gender sexual relationships were acknowledged, and those between men were not only tolerated but widely celebrated in literature and art. Nor for Greeks and Romans was homosexuality an exclusive choice, but alternative to and sometimes concurrent with the love of the opposite sex." "Whilst exploring aspects of the female condition in Classical antiquity, Eva Cantarella came to understand that the sheer ubiquity of male homosexuality had a fundamental impact on relationships between men and women. Drawing on the full range of surviving sources - legal texts, inscriptions, medical documents, poetry and philosophical literature - she now reconstructs the homosexual cultures of Greece and Rome and provides a full, readable and thought-provoking history of bisexuality in the Classical age." "Cantarella explores the psychological, social and cultural mechanisms that determined sexual choice and consider: the extent to which that choice was free, directed or coerced in each civilization. In Greece the relationship between adults and youngs[sic] boys was deemed the noblest of associations, a means of education and spiritual exhaltation[sic]. Cantarella reveals that such relationships, though highly regulated and never left to individual spontaneity, were more than pedagogic and platonic: they were fully carnal. In Imperial Rome, however, the sexual ethic mirrored the political and males were cruelly domineering in love as in war. The critical sexual distinction was that between active and passive, the victims commonly being slaves or defeated enemies, rather than young Roman freemen." "In terms of female bisexuality, accounts of love between Roman women were transmitted exclusively by men. In Greece, however, women had Sappho to give them voice. Cantarella examines the activities of the thiasoi - Greek communities of women - and reveals that their ritual ceremonies also embraced passionate love." "Cantarella explains how the etiquette of bisexuality was corrupted over time and how, influenced by pagan and Judeo-Christian traditions, homosexuality came to be regarded as an unnatural act. Her interpretation goes further than any previous study, claiming not only that homosexuality was common, but that for Greeks of both genders it constituted true love."--Jacket.

Octavo in blue color illus DJ, xxiii, 696 pages, chiefly b&w illustrations (some color), 24 cm. **A large, heavy book. Extra shipping charges may apply for international & expedited orders. Please inquire.** || A sumptuously illustrated and authoritative history of the sexually liberated, salacious, and high satirical world of pre-Victorian London. Between 1779 and 1830. London was the world s largest and richest city, the center of hectic social ferment and spectacular sexual liberation. These singular conditions prompted revolutionary modes of thought, novel sensibilities, and constant debate about the relations between men and women. Such an atmosphere also stimulated outrageous behavior, from James Boswell s copulating on Westminster Bridge to the Prince Regent s attempt to seduce a woman by pleasing, sobbing, and stabbing himself with a penknife. And nowhere was London s lewdness and iconoclasm more vividly represented than its satire. City of Laughter chronicles the rise and fall of a great tradition of ridicule and of the satirical, humorous, and widely circulated prints that sustained it. Focusing not on the polished wit upon which polite society prided itself, but rather on malicious, sardonic, and satirical humor-humor that was bawdy, knowing, and ironic-Vic Gatrell explores what this tradition says about the Georgian s views of the world and about their own pretensions. Taking the reader into the clubs and taverns where laughter flowed most freely, Gatrell examines how Londoners laughed about sex, scandal, fashion, drink, and similar pleasures of life. Combining words and images-including more than 300 original drawings by Cruikshank, Gillray, Rowlandson, and others-City of Laughter offers a brilliantly original panorama of the era, providing a groundbreaking reappraisal of a period of change and a unique account of the origins of our attitudes toward sex, celebrity, and satire today. Includes information on cruelty to animals as sport, importance of appearances, beggars, William Blake, breasts, Lord George Byron, cant, caricatures, clothing of women, gentlemen s clubs, crime, Charles Dickens, drinking, drinking clubs, elections, erotica, flagellation, France and French, gambling, humour (humor), Samuel Johnson, journal, periodicals and newspapers, laughter, lower class people, men, middling sorts, military life, music, nudity, Thomas Paine, phallic obsession, William Pitt, poets and poetry, poor, printshops, prostitutes, pugilism, Christian religion, romanticism, scatological humour and behaviour, sexual activity, Percy B. Shelley, symbols, upper class people, women, women and erotica, etc. Contents: The sense of place -- London and the pleasure principle -- 'The west or worst end' -- Covent garden and the middling sorts -- Crossing the boundaries -- How they laughed -- Laughing politely -- Bums, farts and other transgressions -- Image magic -- Seeing the jokes -- Gillray's dreamscapes -- The sexes -- The tree of life -- Philosophy and raking -- What could women bear? -- The libertine's last fling -- The enemies of laughter -- Taming the muse: the long view -- The age of cant -- radical satire and the censors -- The silencing -- Happiness, cant and the beggars -- Epilogue: Francis Place and 'improvement.'

Small quarto in black illus jacket; viii, 311 pages ; 22 cm Well-written. "'Six weeks before sex reassignment surgery (SRS), I am obliged to stop taking my hormones. I suddenly feel very differently about my forthcoming operation.' In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery--a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job, she launches a career as a writer in a publishing culture dominated by London cliques and still figuring out the impact of the Internet. She navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Yet through art, film, music, politics and football, Jacques starts to become the person she had only imagined, and begins the process of transition. Interweaving the personal with the political, her memoir is a powerful exploration of debates that comprise trans politics, issues which promise to redefine our understanding of what it means to be alive."--Jacket. / Transgender people -- Biography.
