This is a new edition of Little Essays of Love and Virtue, originally published in 1922 by George H. Doran Company, of New York.

In Little Essays of Love and Virtue, Havelock Ellis set forth certain fundamental principles, together with their practical application to the life of the early twentieth century. Many principles are stated, some technically; others were therein implied but only to be read between the lines. Here, the author expressed them in simple language and with some rich detail. The book touches on important topics such as Children and Parents, The Meaning of Purity, The Objects of Marriage, Husbands and Wives, The Love-Rights of Women, The Play-Function of Sex, and The Individual and the Race. Little Essays of Love and Virtue is aimed primarily at young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence who were in the author's thoughts in all the studies he wrote of sex because he was of that age when he first vaguely planned them. Little Essays of Love and Virtue, is considered one of Havelock's masterpieces and helped establish Havelock's reputation throughout the world. About the Author: Havelock Ellis was a social activist, a physician and a psychologist, whose best-known works concern sexuality and criminology. Among his over forty books, in 1890 he published The Criminal, a remarkable work on criminal anthropology. In the same year, he published The New Spirit, a collection of literary essays on Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy, and Ellis's attempt to synthesize science and religious mysticism. In 1898 he wrote Affirmations, which contains essays on Nietzsche, Casanova, Zola, Huysmans, and St. Francis. In 1897, he published Sexual Inversion, the first medical text in English about homosexuality, which he had co-authored with John Addington Symonds in an earlier edition, and which became a part of Ellis's six-volume Studies in the Psychology of Sex. In 1922, he published Little Essays of Love and Virtue, which aimed primarily at young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence, who were in the author's thoughts in all the studies he wrote of sex because he was of that age when he first vaguely planned them. These titles are part of our Unforgettable Classic Series: The Best of Havelock Ellis Collection. Born in Surrey, England, in 1859, Havelock Ellis was considered by the overwhelming majority of critics as the best translator of Germinal, Émile Zola s masterpiece. Ellis was associated with the Decadent movement and with the Lutetian Society, a secret literary society, through which authors and translators like himself were able to provide British readers with translations of works which were often antagonistic to the Victorian ideals of morality-such as some of Émile Zola's controversial novels-aiming at expanding the cultural horizons of the few lucky readers who had access to them. Havelock Ellis died in Suffolk, England, in 1939.
