A landmark window into early sexology, wartime Europe, and the intellectual world surrounding Magnus Hirschfeld.
The volume opens with reports from the war period, tracing how global conflict reshaped discussions of sexuality, identity, and social policy. It continues with Numa Praetorius' detailed examination of the 1916 Swiss draft criminal code and its proposed punishment of homosexual acts, a key document in the early legal history of sexual reform. A rare historical feature follows: letters of Duchess Elisabeth Charlotte of Orléans (1652-1722), presented in continuation by Herm. Michaëlis, offering candid glimpses into court life and personal sentiment across centuries. Additional sections survey contemporary books and journals, committee communications, and archival receipts, preserving the administrative and intellectual rhythms of the movement.
The centerpiece of the volume-Number 2/3, Biographical-forms a collective tribute to Magnus Hirschfeld. Letters and essays from leading thinkers of the era, including Ernst Haeckel, Auguste Forel, Iwan Bloch, Helene Stöcker, Wilhelm Stekel, Friedrich S. Krauss, Kurt Hiller, and many others, create a multifaceted portrait of Hirschfeld as scientist, humanitarian, organizer, and pioneer of sexual reform. These contributions range from memories of his youth to assessments of his forensic expertise, pedagogical influence, and groundbreaking sexological research.
Number 4 continues the documentary record with a situation report, a supplement to the wartime chronicles, and further committee communications, capturing the evolving challenges and achievements of the movement.
A substantial supplement, newly added by the translator, provides a complete table of contents for all 23 volumes published between 1899 and 1923, making this edition an indispensable guide for researchers. An About the Translator section concludes the volume.
Rich in historical detail and intellectual breadth, this collection offers an unparalleled view into the early struggle for sexual science, legal reform, and human dignity, anchored by the life and legacy of Magnus Hirschfeld.
