Synopsis

This 6 volume facsimile collection brings together many of the early writings of the movement, charting the rise of the Eugenics movement, including 'pre-eugenics' writings from the late nineteenth century and also papers on later recurrences of sterilisation issues from the 1980s and 1990s. The collection focuses mainly on the British and American Eugenics movement but also includes some papers from France, Russia and Germany, with new translations alongside original texts, demonstrating the international scope of the movement in the early twentieth century. A new introduction to each section places the articles in context both historically and intellectually. This collection is a fascinating insight into Eugenics and its development and will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of History of Ideas and Social and Cultural History.
