Industry Reviews
"John Boswell restores one's faith in scholarship as the union of erudition, analysis and moral vision. I would not hesitate to call this book revolutionary, for it tells of things heretofore unimagined and sets a standard of excellence that one would have thought impossible in the treatment of an issue so large, uncharted and vexed.... Both of Professor Boswell's central findings are completely at odds with all our perceptions about Western civilization. But the book's argument is of such richness--its empirical base so broad, its reasoning so fierce--that it succeeds in making one think the unthinkable. It forces us to re-examine even the most fixed notions about our moral and cultural heritage."
New York Times Book Review - Paul Robinson (08/10/1980)
"What makes this work so exciting is not simply its content--fascinating though that is--but its revolutionary challenge to some of Western culture's most familiar moral assumptions."
Newsweek - Jean Strouse
"Truly groundbreaking work. Boswell reveals unexplored phenomena with an unfailing erudition."
Publisher's Catalog - Michel Foucault
