Book Overview
"On Spermatorrhoea" by Francis Burdett Courtenay offers a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century medical beliefs and practices surrounding a then-prevalent concern: spermatorrhea. This historical text delves into the perceived nature, consequences, and treatments of this condition, reflecting the medical fallacies and popular delusions of the time. Courtenay's work provides valuable insight into the evolving understanding of sexual health and the anxieties surrounding it during the Victorian era. It remains a significant resource for those interested in the history of medicine, the social construction of illness, and the cultural context of 19th-century sexual attitudes.
