The history of sexuality has progressed from its earlier marginal
status to a central place in historiography. Not only are its foci
of research intriguing, but the field has initiated important
theoretical advances for the discipline as a whole, especially
through the work of Michel Foucault. The editors of this new
four-volume Routledge collection define sexuality in a broader
sense than sexual identity, to include sexual emotions, desires,
acts, representations, and relationships. And while the history of
sexuality began in the American and European spheres, the volumes
also integrate studies of Asian, African, and other sexual
cultures. Similarly, the collection integrates studies from early
periods (such as classical Greece and Rome and the medieval era)
with modern histories of sexuality. The editors of this new

A sweeping survey of sexuality in Europe from the Greeks to the
present, Desire: A History of European Sexuality follows changing
attitudes to two major concepts of sexual desire - desire as
dangerous, polluting, and disorderly, and desire as creative,
transcendent, even revolutionary - through the major turning points
of European history. Chronological in structure, and wide ranging
in scope, Desire addresses such topics as sex in ancient Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, sexual contact and culture clash in Spain
and colonial Mesoamerica, new attitudes toward sexuality in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and sex in Bolshevik Russia
and Nazi Germany. The book introduces the concept of "twilight
moments" to describe activities seen as shameful or dishonorable,
but which were tolerated when concealed by shadows, and integrates
the history of heterosexuality with same-sex desire, as well as
exploring the emotions of love and lust as well as the politics of
sex and personal experiences. This new edition has been updated to
include a new chapter on sex and imperialism and expanded
discussions of Islam and trans issues. Drawing on a rich array of
sources, including poetry, novels, pornography, and film, as well
as court records, autobiographies, and personal letters, and
written in a lively, engaging style, Desire remains an essential
resource for scholars and students of the history of European
sexuality, as well as women's and gender history, social and
cultural history and LGBTQ history.
The Englishwoman's Review, which published from 1866 to 1910,
participated in and recorded a great change in the range of
possibilities open to women. The ideal of the magazine was the idea
of the emerging emancipated middle-class woman: economic
independence from men, choice of occupation, participation in the
male enterprises of commerce and government, access to higher
education, admittance to the male professions, particularly
medicine, and, of course, the power of suffrage equal to that of
men. First published in 1985, this final volume contains the index,
which was compiled from the Table of Contents which appeared at the
front of the yearly volumes. Along with the informative
introduction, the index is a helpful tool for those studying the
vast quantity of original material collected in the set, making it
an invaluable resource to those studying nineteenth and early
twentieth-century feminism and the women's movement in Britain.

The History of Sexuality in Europe: A Sourcebook and Reader is a
dynamic introduction to the latest debates in the history of
Sexuality in Europe. It begins with an introduction, "The Magnetic
Poetry Kit of Sex," that surveys the field of sexuality and
introduces the new concept of sexual grammar. The Reader focuses on
the modern age, but has three chapters on the ancient and medieval
world to demonstrate their very different cultures of sexuality.
Each section of the Reader pairs the latest chapters and articles
by experts with primary sources, addressing questions such as: Why
did ancient Greek philosophers and medieval Islamic poets celebrate
men's desire for each other? Was Jesus a queer eunuch? Were
Victorians sexually repressed? How did nonwestern cultures change
some Europeans' ideas about sex? Does regulating prostitution
protect or punish women who sell sex? How did sexologists learn
from feminists, and men and women who desired those of the same
sex? Were 60s feminists pro or anti sex? An essential collection
for all students of the history of sexuality.

This six-volume collection brings together key documents on women's
suffrage from Britain and the Empire in the century between 1767
and 1867. With a particular focus on voting rights and political
representation, the collection includes excerpts of works from
renowned writers such as Edmund Burke and John Stuart Mill, as well
as rare and insightful texts from less prominent authors. This
collection provides a valuable reference to students of various
disciplines, including British and imperial history, gender
studies, literature, politics, and the history of feminism.
This book presents a survey of approaches to dealing with 'rival
histories' in the classroom, arguing that approaching this problem
requires great sensitivity to differing national, educational and
narrative contexts. Contested narratives and disputed histories
have long been an important issue in history-teaching all over the
world, and have even been described as the 'history' or 'culture'
wars. In this book, authors from across the globe ponder the
question "what can teachers do (and what are they doing) to address
conflicting narratives of the same past?", and puts an
epistemological issue at the heart of the discussion: what does it
mean for the epistemology of history, if it is possible to teach
more than one narrative? Divided into three sections that deal with
historical cultures, multicultural societies and
multiperspectivity, the chapters of the book showcase that dealing
with rival histories is very much dependent on context, and that
diverse teaching traditions and societal debates mean that
teachers' abilities in engaging with the teaching of rival
narratives are very different. The volume will be compelling
reading for students and researchers in the fields of education,
history, sociology and philosophy, as well as practising teachers.

Linking the personal and the political, this book depicts the
making of the working class in Britain as a "struggle for the
breeches." The late 18th and early 19th centuries witnessed
significant changes in notions of masculinity and femininity, the
sexual division of labour, and sexual mores, changes that were
intimately intertwined with class politics. By integrating gender
into the analysis of class formation, Clark transforms the
traditional narrative of working-class history. Going beyond the
sterile debate about whether economics or language determines class
consciousness, Clark integrates working people's experience with an
analysis of radical rhetoric. Focusing on Lancashire, Glasgow and
London, she contrasts the experience of artisans and textile
workers, demonstrating how each created distinctively gendered
communities and political strategies. Workers faced a "sexual
crisis", Clark claims, as men and women competed for jobs and
struggled over love and power in the family. While some radicals
espoused respectability, others might be homophobes, wife-beaters
and tyrants at home; a radical's love of liberty could be coupled
with lust for the life of a libertine. Clark shows
"Anna Clark has pioneered research on sex, scandal, and democracy.
Here she shows why scandal is not just engaging, nay fascinating,
but how sexual politics is important to power, to political
discourse, and the constitution, how it disturbs the fiction of
public and private, and how it connects with the contradictions of
everyday life-the life that we all live."--Beatrix Campbell, writer
and broadcaster, author of "Diana, Princess of Wales: How Sexual
Politics Shook the Monarchy"
"In this original and engaging work, we are shown a series of
detailed, gripping scandals and how they were instrumental in
shaping the world of Georgian politics and in laying the ground for
Britain's move toward a modern democracy. The stories are vividly
told-the actors move across the stage in all their flawed humanity.
Clark's insights into the reforming of acceptable masculine and
feminine behavior and the role of sexual innuendo in struggles for
power are particularly original. With the publication of "Scandal,"
all types of political scandal, including those based on or
attributed to what current opinion defines as sexual misdemeanors,
will have to be taken with the seriousness they deserve, no longer
written off as the quaint by-ways of history."--Leonore Davidoff,
coauthor of "Family Fortunes: Men and Women of the English Middle
Class 1780-1850"
"In her fresh and exciting study, Anna Clark reframes a set of
well-known episodes in British political history during the reign
of George III and the Regency period. Combining political,
cultural, and gender history, she demonstrates in superb fashion
the importance of scandal, particularly sexual scandal, to
understanding the politics of the age.Clark has written a work of
originality that deserves a wide readership."--James Epstein,
author of "In Practice: Studies in the Language and Culture of
Popular Politics in Modern Britain"
The past is consumed on a grand scale: popularised by television
programs, enjoyed by reading groups, walking groups, historical
societies and heritage tours, and supported by unprecedented
digital access to archival records. Yet our history has also become
the subject of heated political contest and debate. In Private
Lives, Public History, historian Anna Clark explores how our
personal pasts intersect with broader historical questions and
debates. Drawing on interviews with Australians from five
communities around the country, she uncovers how we think about the
past in the context of our local and intimate stories, and the role
history plays in our lives.
The last several decades have witnessed an explosion of new
empirical research into representations of the past and the
conditions of their production, prompting claims that we have
entered a new era in which the past has become more "present" than
ever before. Contemplating Historical Consciousness brings together
leading historians, ethnographers, and other scholars who give
illuminating reflections on the aims, methods, and
conceptualization of their own research as well as the successes
and failures they have encountered. This rich collective account
provides valuable perspectives for current scholars while charting
new avenues for future research.
