Havelock Ellis
Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) was a British physician, writer, and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He was co-author of the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality in 1897, and also published works on sexual practices and inclinations, including transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the notions of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis. He served as president of the Galton Institute and supported eugenics.
The New Spirit
This is a thought provoking set of essays by the controversial Havelock Ellis, who is famed for his writings on human sexuality. The New Spirit was his first book. These essays contain Havelock Ellis' thoughts on the lives, the motives and the works of five great authors: Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy - a fascinating literary examination of some great intellectual thinkers."

Here is a world in which chiefly figure five typical literary personalities - Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy - whose " intimate thoughts and secret emotions" have become " the common property of after generations." What is the new spirit? It is, briefly, " a quickening of the pulse of life," resulting from the action of three forces, of which one is science, the other two being the rise of women and the coming of democracy." --- from Havelock Ellis: A Biographical and Critical Survey by Isaac Goldberg.

Havelock Ellis: Philosopher of Sex
First published in 1979, Havelock Ellis is a biography of the philosopher of sex. Havelock Ellis trained first as a doctor but soon broke out of conventional medicine to shock Victorian England with his encyclopaedic seven-volume work, Studies in the Psychology of Sex. One of the last representatives of the days when man could attempt to embrace a universal view, he wrote more than fifty books covering such diverse subjects as medicine, eugenics, love, literature, criminal law, and above all, sex. These were strewn with findings on many major problems which still trouble us today and some of his solutions remain highly contemporary. His influence permeated many areas of social thinking, and ...
