Celibacy is a worldwide practice that is often adopted, rarely
discussed. Now, in Elizabeth Abbott's fascinating and wide-ranging
history, it is examined in all its various forms: shaping religious
lives, conditioning athletes and shamans, surfacing in classical
poetry and camp literature, resonating in the voices of castrati,
and permeating ancient mythology. Found in every society of the
past, practiced by both the anonymous and the legendary (St.
Catherine, Joan of Arc, Leonardo da Vinci, Elizabeth I, Gandhi),
celibacy has as many stories as adherents, and Abbott weaves them
into a provocative, seamless tapestry that brings history alive.
