Studies in the Psychology of Sex by Havelock Ellis is one of the foundational texts in the field of human sexuality, blending scientific inquiry with social, cultural, and historical perspectives. This rare two-volume set, published by The Standard Literature in 2002, brings together Ellis’s seminal work in a durable and beautifully bound hardcover edition—a must-have for those invested in psychology, human behavior, and sexual history.

Originally published between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ellis’s multi-volume study broke new ground in its unapologetically open and scientific approach to topics such as sexual instinct, orientation, desire, gender, and societal norms. He drew on medical case studies, historical accounts, and cross-cultural analysis to confront sexual repression and promote a more enlightened, fact-based understanding of human sexuality.

This particular edition spans 850 pages in Volume I and 750 pages in Volume II, offering a complete and unabridged collection of Ellis’s writings. From the psychology of auto-erotism and the phenomenon of inversion to early discussions of gender identity and ethical implications of sexual behavior, this work continues to be relevant to today’s discussions of gender studies, LGBTQ+ history, psychology, and human rights.

Ideal for academic reference, private research, or intellectual curiosity, this two-volume hardcover set is a significant contribution to libraries focusing on psychology, philosophy, sexuality, or cultural studies.
