Présentation de l'éditeur

Almost immediately the strong similarity in sentiment to that of confessions of homosexual subjects recorded in text-books on the human sex-instinct became astonishingly evident; so evident, indeed, that it seemed fifty chances to one the thing must have been noticed before. However, for some time search proved negative. A psychopathical criticism was outside the compass of Whitman scontemporaries, because at that time scientific study of sex practically did not exist.
