It deals in a fresh and masterly way with the biological basis of the sexual instinct. ***All phases of the sexual ceremony are here discussed; the quaint and curious customs among obscure tribes, many of them ritualistic in nature, are treated. The physical manifestations of sexual love, its organic and mechanistic faculties, are carefully analyzed in relation to its psychological factors.' (Quote taken from the front panel of the dustwrapper) ***The first British edition of American modernist poet Ezra Pound's (1885-1972) translation of the French Symbolist Remy de Gourmont's (1858-1915) treatise on sex within the animal kingdom. A limited edition work, produced on quality antique laid paper - a scarce find in the original dustwrapper. Of interest to the early works of the American Modernist poet Ezra Pound. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
