The Criminal by Havelock Ellis
This book contains Havelock Ellis s 1890 study, The Criminal . In this text, Ellis has endeavoured to present a critical summary of criminal anthropology, or the characteristics of criminals. Although much of what is contained within this book now belongs decisively in the realms of pseudoscience, Ellis s The Criminal will appeal to collectors and those with an interest in the development of scientific thought. Contents include: The Study of the Criminal, Criminal Anthropology, Cranial and Cerebral Characteristics, The Face, Anomalies of the Hair, Criminal Physiognomy, The Body and Viscera, Heredity, Tattooing, Motor Activity, Physical Sensibility, Moral Insensibility, Vanity, Intelligence, etcetera. Henry Havelock Ellis (1859 1939), also referred to as Havelock Ellis, was an English physician, writer, and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He was co-author of the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality in 1897, and also published works on a variety of sociological issues. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.| SKU | Unavailable |
