I honestly can't believe this is available, considering its low print run. Writing under the pseudonym Xavier Mayne, Edward Prime-Stevenson provides readers a far-reaching defense of homosexuality from a scientific, legal, historical, and personal perspective. It's a long work (about 500+ pages), so I suspect someone would want to adopt this as a group project. But it's definitely an important text.

Here it is.

Okay, so I've been mulling over the idea of doing this as a group project, but am frankly a little put off by the sheer ambition of this project. On closer inspection, the full text is about 600+ pages... and some of the chapters clock in at a whopping 150 pages! Breaking this down into small, palatable chunks will be a challenge, let alone trying to find enough volunteers willing to slog through some of the now-antiquated pathologies and medical jargon. That, coupled with some tough subject matter (plenty of chapters about ancient Greek pederasty and turn-of-the-century prostitution) make this a fairly challenging project.

It doesn't help that I was already dead set on doing another group project which was shorter, goofier, and less serious/more fun. :-P

Anyway, I'm still contemplating it.

EDIT: I also just noticed that the HathiTrust scan is missing one page from the preface. So I'd obviously have to track that down first... blergh.

My local library has a copy (for use in library only), so I could get a copy of the missing preface page for you. Apparently, there is a 1975 reprint of this book by Arno Press.

Thanks Isana. I just checked my university library database and I might be able to get the reprint from a neighboring university. We'll see if it ever comes in. It is also apparently quite rare (although obviously not as rare as the original printing, which had less than 200 copies in circulation).

Of course, if you're ever in your local library and have the urge to snap a photograph of what I presume is a single page... you'll have my endless appreciation. :-)

Hello Chuck,

I must confess to being unfamiliar with this book, though it looks like a very significant work.

From a purely practical point of view, I'd like to note that HathiTrust are only displaying this as search-only. They're saying that this is due to copyright restrictions, but they also give Prime-Stevenson's year of death as 1942, which would make him PD in Europe (where I'm trying to view the scan). If anybody is considering launching this, it might be worth asking HathiTrust if they can remove the restrictions on it to increase the pool of potential readers.

Oh, right! I forgot that HathiTrust is only available for US residents.

Here... I've gone ahead and uploaded the document to my GoogleDocs. For anyone curious...

A couple of updates:

1) I've requested a copy of the 1975 edition to see if I can find out what's on the missing page from the HathiTrust PDF. Once I've scored a copy, I'll upload the document.

2) I'm also wondering if I should break down some of the super-long chapters into 2000-3000 word or 3000-4000 word chunks. I suspect the former would attract more readers, but not sure if the surplus of sound files would be a nightmare. Any advice here?

I lucked out. Looks like someone transcribed this book on Wikisource. So I won't have to worry about raiding my local libraries for OOP copies of this insanely hard-to-find book!

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Intersexes:_A_History_of_Similisexualism_as_a_Problem_in_Social_Life/

Alright, I've broken this down into various bite-sized chunks... and the final tally of sections is 86 (maybe 87... because I'm thinking of breaking up a 5900 word beast in half). That... obviously crazy.

I'm still waffling on whether I'll launch this. It's obviously an important project, but would also be the single biggest group project I've ever done... and I just got back here from a long hiatus. This, coupled with four sections where the author tosses in random excerpts from poems in German, French, and Latin (although it's never really all that much) all but confirms this would be a difficult project.

I'll mull it over tonight before bed.

Regarding your text source, the scan on HathiTrust (which they have noted as a 1908 edition) would be fine to use for Librivox, but the 1975 reprint and Wikisource would not. (We'd have to be able to compare them with a scan of the original to verify that they're identical.) So given your options, I'd suggest omitting the incomplete preface. An alternative would be to look elsewhere for a scan; Archive and Google Books would be places to start (they might also have the same text that's posted on HathiTrust).

No worries. I've contacted an archivist at the University of Michigan (the university that scanned the original document) and should get the text of that missing page soon.

However, I have decided not to do this project. If anyone is interested, send me a PM. I can send the chapter breakdowns I created for this book.

Alright, an update: I have a photo copy of the missing page from the preface.

Please send me a PM if you'd like to do this as a group project and need a copy of the missing page. I also talked to the librarian who scanned the document and was assured that the HathiTrust edition would be corrected soon.

I also have a complete list of all the chapters, broken up into bite sized chunks (complete with word counts). I'd be happy to share all of this information, if you'd like to take this project on (because, um... I think I'm gonna pass on this one, myself).

i hope the reason why you decided not to bc this project is not the size :) we have successfully completed projects of 100+ sections, 24h+ of recorded time, without major problems. the only issue is that these long projects also take long, and that you need to stay on the ball the whole time, but that is not too hard in itself. plus you would have your dpl and your mc by your side to pass the time :)

in any case, thank you for suggesting it. it is my belief that all texts that are suggested here are eventually going to be adopted (it is kind of my hobby to adopt the oldest suggestions).

Not to resurrect a long-dead thread, but I thought I should post some of the page-by-page breakdowns of each chapter I made long ago. That way, if anyone wants to launch this themselves, they can just copy-paste all of my work without having to send a PM in advance.

I also uploaded the HathiTrust document onto Archive.org for some of our non-American volunteers. I still think we should use the HathiTrust link in the LV description, however, since that's where it was originally posted. And don't forget: the scanned document has a missing page that a very helpful university librarian scanned for me.

I should also warn potential BCs: there's a lot of discussion of Greek pederasty.

I truly hope this gets done eventually.
