Marc-Andre Raffalovich's Uranism and Unisexuality: A Study of Different Manifestations of the Sexual Instinct

Raffalovich's 1896 magnum opus of sexology, Uranism and Unisexuality (never before translated into English until now), provides an ethical justification for same-sex desire. Drawing on cross-cultural and transhistorical narratives, the gentleman scholar argues for the rights of the homosexual in society and its responsibility to him.
