Summary

This was originally published in Leipzig as 'Das konträre Geschlechtsgefühl'. It was praised as a pioneering work, but when Wilson and Macmillan published the English version, 'Sexual Inversion', in 1897 the Scottish historian and friend of Symonds bought up nearly the entire edition in order to avoid a scandal accruing to the Symonds family. It was re-issued in 1897 under the new title 'Studies in the Psychology of Sex' with Symonds name expunged.

Note

First edition (with Symonds's name on t.-p. and special preface); publication prohibited by Horatio Brown, Symonds's literary executor. A revised edition (without Symonds's name or contributions) was published by Weissenfeld in November, 1897.
Garrison-Morton no. 4981.
