When first published this book had a significant influence on the
campaign for comprehensive schools and it spoke to generations of
working-class students who were either deterred by the class
barriers erected by selective schools and elite universities, or,
having broken through them to gain university entry, found
themselves at sea. The authors admit at the end of the book they
have raised and failed to answer many questions, and in spite of
the disappearance of the majority of grammar schools, many of those
questions still remain unanswered.
This volume brings together contributions on the study of sexual
affairs in committed personal relationships. The editors enlisted
colleagues with varied theoretical and methodological perspectives
from Britain, the United States, and other countries. Together,
their contributions provide a broad, cross-national perspective on
affairs. Grounded in theoretical discussion, the chapters in this
book introduce data collected by a broad range of methods,
including attitude surveys, large statistical cohort studies, case
studies, depth interviews, and group discussions. A number of
contributors locate the theoretical discussion of affairs within
the broader contemporary ordering of committed relationships,
contrasting the liberating and empowering aspects of affairs with
the damage they may inflict on society as a whole and on the lives
of individuals and families. The themes of passion, transgression,
secrecy, lies, betrayal, and gossip are common to a range of
chapters throughout. The volume provides broad literature reviews
and theoretical discussions concerning particular aspects of
affairs, such as communication and jealousy. In addition, case
studies are used for the more detailed exploration of heterosexual
affairs and contemporary developments in gay male and lesbian
relationships. The State of Affairs will be of interest to
researchers, scholars, and students in social psychology;
communication; sociology; family, social, and clinical psychology;
and for practitioners in couple counseling.
