	ATKINS, JOHN SEX IN LITERATURE: The Erotic Impulse From The Classics To The Present Day NY, Grove Press / Evergreen Black Cat Edition. 1972, 1st Printing. (ISBN: 039417769X) Paperback, 12mo - over 6Â¾" - 7Â¾" tall. Original Issue, Tight Copy, light edgewear, light normal page age toning, the front inside cover features a page number reference to a section commenting on women and pregnancy, menstruation and prostitution in historical literature - with a couple passages being highlighted, else unmarked text. This is perhaps the first, and certainly the fullest, attempt to provide an outline history of attitudes toward sex, as expressed in a vast and complex variety of literary forms, from primitive cultures to the present day. For obvious reasons it is essentially a book about erotic literature that is available in English, but, as the author notes, there is probably more available of the genre in English than in any other language. SEX IN LITERATURE describes, with intelligence and verve, not only the works themselves, but the effects of social change on sexual habits and attitudes, and their relation to religion. He deals with the influence of psychoanalysis and other scientific disciplines on sexual knowledge, and he describes with considerable insight and wit the varying responses of men and women to sexual titillation. John Atkins wears his erudition lightly, with the result that SEX IN LITERATURE is an immensely readable study of man's most universal preoccupation. Very Good.

	ATKINS, JOHN SEX IN LITERATURE: The Erotic Impulse From The Classics To The Present Day NY, Grove Press / Evergreen Black Cat Edition. 1972, 1st Printing. (ISBN: 039417769X) Paperback, 12mo - over 6Â¾" - 7Â¾" tall. Original Issue, Tight Copy, light edgewear, light normal page age toning, the front inside cover features a page number reference to a section commenting on women and pregnancy, menstruation and prostitution in historical literature - with a couple passages being highlighted, else unmarked text. This is perhaps the first, and certainly the fullest, attempt to provide an outline history of attitudes toward sex, as expressed in a vast and complex variety of literary forms, from primitive cultures to the present day. For obvious reasons it is essentially a book about erotic literature that is available in English, but, as the author notes, there is probably more available of the genre in English than in any other language. SEX IN LITERATURE describes, with intelligence and verve, not only the works themselves, but the effects of social change on sexual habits and attitudes, and their relation to religion. He deals with the influence of psychoanalysis and other scientific disciplines on sexual knowledge, and he describes with considerable insight and wit the varying responses of men and women to sexual titillation. John Atkins wears his erudition lightly, with the result that SEX IN LITERATURE is an immensely readable study of man's most universal preoccupation. Very Good.
