Dangerous Sexualities - Medico-Moral Politics in England Since 1830 (Paperback, 2nd edition)

Dangerous Sexualities investigates how our ideas of health and disease are linked to moral and immoral notions of sex. Beginning in the 1830s, Frank Mort relates his social historical narratives to the sexual choices and possibilities facing us now.
The long-awaited second edition of this work takes on board modern scholarship in particular applying the methods and techniques of cultural history and the increasingly important formations of race and ethnicity in this field. Consequently issues of eugenics, race hygiene and social imperialism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are covered. With a new and extended bibliography, introduction and illustrations, this second edition brings this classic into the nineties.
