Love's Coming-of-Age: A Series of Papers on the Relations of the Sexes

by Edward Carpenter

English· 04:02:54· 13 chapters
"The little god of Love is generally represented as a child; and rightly, perhaps, considering the erratic character of his ways among the human race. There are signs, however, of a new order in the relations of the Sexes; and the following papers are, among other things, an attempt to indicate the inner laws which, rather than the outer, may guide Love when—some day—he shall have come to his full estate." - Summary by Edward Carpenter
