Originally published in 1887, Edward Carpenter's England's Ideal
and other Papers on Social Subjects is a collection of his essays
in the field of Social Science with a focus on English society at
the time of writing. His writing was so influential that there was
a near constant demand in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries for this work to be reprinted with this particular
edition being published in 1919. Papers included in this volume
discuss issues such as labour, trade and property and all provide
insight into the English class structure as well as illuminating
Carpenter's socialist values. This title will be of interest to
students of sociology.
Love and Death are two major facets of the whole of human existence
and in The Drama of Love and Death, Carpenter attempts to analyse
the interplay of love and death in everyday life. Originally
published in 1912, this study focuses on how love and death are
perceived and treated in the history of humankind and how these
views evolved up until the early twentieth century. This title will
be of interest to students of Sociology and Anthropology.
Late studies in the Psychology of Sex have led to some interesting
speculations with regard to the poet Shelley; the author writes a
few lines by way of introduction to the following paper by the
author's friend, which puts very clearly, as the author thinks,
some points in Shelley's temperament which have hitherto been
neglected or misunderstood, and which call for renowned
consideration. Not having author himself made a special study of
the Modern Psychology, the author does not pretend to certify to
the absolute truth of the theories put forward by the author, but
he does certainly think, after due consideration, that they are
worthy of very careful study.
Late studies in the Psychology of Sex have led to some interesting
speculations with regard to the poet Shelley; and it is with
pleasure that I write a few lines by way of introduction to the
following paper by my friend, George Barnefield, which puts very
clearly, as I think, some points in Shelley's temperament which
have hitherto been neglected or misunderstood, and which call for
renowned consideration. Not having myself made a special study of
the Modern Psychology, I do not pretend to certify to the absolute

Edward Carpenter's Towards Democracy is well-known as a starting
point of his later work. Originally written in 1881 whilst taking a
break from lecturing in Universities across the UK, this
four-volume poem dwells mainly on themes of freedom and equality;
values that Carpenter wrote upon many times in his career.
Originally published in 1883, this version in 1917, this title will
be of interest to students of Sociology and English Literature.
Intermediate Types among Primitive Folk expands on Carpenter's idea
of the Intermediate type; a person of mixed sexes such as a
feminine body with a masculine mind or vice versa. Originally
published in 1914, this text explores the role that intermediate
types played amongst early civilisations as well as in religion and
military situations. Whilst later civilisations tended to look down
on those who did not fit into traditional gender roles, some early
peoples saw intermediate types as important figures in their social
organisation. This title will be of interest to students of
sociology, gender studies and anthropology.
Originally published in 1915 in the middle of World War I,
Carpenter explores the effects that the war was having on society
and humankind as a whole from first-hand experience. In particular,
papers focus on the differences between Germany and England, the
causes of the war and suggestions for restoration and recovery when
the war has ended. Carpenter details all of this in a realistic way
drawing on matters such as class to put forward his anti-war stance
as well as philosophical approaches to coping with tragedy. This
title will be of interest to students of history, sociology and
politics.

civilisation and his theory that it is a disease of mankind that
must be cured. Papers included in this collection discuss the
rampant ill-health suffered by society as well as criticisms of
modern science to support this theory whilst also analysing what
the future holds for science, ideas of morality and traditions and
customs. This title will be of interest to students of sociology.
Light from the East collates letters between Hon. P. Arunachalam of
the legislative council of Ceylon and Edward Carpenter, which
expand on issues of the Gnanam or divine knowledge. Carpenter
edited these letters for publication in 1927 as well as writing
additional articles on issues such as desire, birth control and
bisexuality in relation to the customs of Ceylon and religious laws
of Hinduism to give the reader a broad insight into the religion.
This title will be of interest to students of sociology,
anthropology and religious studies.
Originally published in 1917 in the midst of World War I, Carpenter
argues that industry in pre-war Britain was simply exploitation of
labour for private gain and attempts to look toward a future with
more socialist values. The papers in this study explore the
negative aspects of industrial life and suggest a new outlook with
which the United Kingdom can move forward in industry. This title
will be of interest to students of sociology.
Originally published in 1911, this edition published in 1920, this
text comprises of an excerpt from Carpenter's Adam's Peak to
Elephanta, originally published in 1892, which details his travels
in India and Ceylon. This excerpt in particular details his visit
to a Gnani, or religious wise man, and what he learned of their
ancient wisdom-religion, which would be more recognisable as
Hinduism to a modern reader. This title will be of interest to
students of sociology, anthropology and religious studies.
The Intermediate sex collates papers from Edward Carpenter on his
ideas about intermediate types. Carpenter claims that there are
those in societies who hold an intermediate position between the
two sexes and may have an inner sex in their mind that is different
from their biological sex. Originally published in 1908, this
version in1941, these papers present early observations about
gender fluidity in both men and women, studying certain 'types' of
intermediate people that he claimed were begin to emerge more
obviously at the time of writing. This title will be of interest to
students of gender studies.
