Synopsis

List Of References On Birth Control by Theodore Schroeder. This comprehensive bibliography assembles a wide-ranging collection of sources on birth control and population philosophy from the late 18th to early 20th centuries. Organized into languages and formats, it catalogs Books and Pamphlets, Magazine Articles, and Foreign Language materials (Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Miscellaneous), offering entries on authors such as Malthus, Besant, Sanger, Drysdale, and many others. The introduction situates the birth control question within social, religious, ethical, and scientific debates, arguing that immature emotions impede objective inquiry and that the bibliography aims to facilitate a more rational, dispassionate discussion of human reproduction and race regeneration. The volume serves as a reference tool for scholars, librarians, and policymakers seeking historical and bibliographic context on birth control, eugenics, neo-Malthusianism, and public morals. Published in 1918, the work compiles both core theoretical treatises and practical guides, periodical discussions, and international perspectives, illustrating the global scope of the birth-control discourse at the time.
