In response, new social conventions, sanitary prescriptions, practices of self-control, and policies of sex regulation and education were developed as a means to control disorderly sexual behavior. At the same time, though an ideology based on sexual respectability was largely promoted throughout society, significant individuals and subcultures often challenged both the principle and the practice of such morality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Cultural History of Sexuality in the Age of Empire \u003c\/i\u003epresents an overview of the period with essays on heterosexuality, homosexuality, sexual variations, religious and legal issues, health concerns, popular beliefs about sexuality, prostitution and erotica.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChiara Beccalossi \u003c\/b\u003eis a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for the History of European Discourses, University of Queensland, Australia, and author of Female Sexual Inversion: Same-Sex Desires in Italian and British Sexology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIvan Crozier \u003c\/b\u003eis a Senior Lecturer in the Science Studies Unit at the University of Edinburgh, UK and is currently writing a book on culture-bound syndromes in psychiatry.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 13, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42125605732487,"sku":"9781472539199","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a60cc974d8076ee4435d87a72ca5cfda.webp?v=1732578765","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-sexuality-in-the-age-of-empire-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
