Introductory The subject dealt with in this book is one of great, and one may say growing, importance. Whether it is that the present period is one of large increase in the numbers of men and women of an intermediate or mixed temperament, or whether it merely is that it is a period in which more than usual attention happens to be accorded to them, the fact certainly remains that the subject has great actuality and is pressing upon us from all sides. It is recognised that anyhow the number of persons occupying an intermediate position between the two sexes is very great, that they play a considerable part in general society, and that they necessarily present and embody many problems which, both for their own sakes and that of society, demand solution. The literature of the question has in consequence already grown to be very extensive, especially on the Continent, and includes a great quantity of scientific works, medical treatises, literary essays, romances, historical novels, poetry, etc. And it is now generally admitted that some knowledge and enlightened understanding of the subject is greatly needed for the use of certain classes-as, for instance, medical men, teachers, parents, magistrates, judges, and the like. That there are distinctions and gradations of Soul-material in relation to Sex-that the inner psychical affections and affinities shade off and graduate, in a vast number of instances, most subtly from male to female, and not always in obvious correspondence with the outer bodily sex-is a thing evident enough to anyone who considers the subject; nor could any good purpose well be served by ignoring this fact-even if it were possible to do so.

Edward Carpenter, born August 29, 1844 in Hove and died June 28, 1929 in Guildford, is an English poet and philosopher, libertarian socialist militant and for the rights of homosexuals. From a rich family in Brighton, he made brilliant studies at Cambridge. Ordained Anglican pastor in 1870, he left the order in 1874. After reading and meeting Walt Whitman, Edward Carpenter settled in the countryside to lead a simpler life. Having grown vegetarian and abstract, he lived with his first companion, Albert Fearnehoug, in the neighborhood of Sheffield where he became market gardener and sandal maker. He took part in the birth of British Socialism alongside Henry Hyndman, then in the founding of the Fabian Society and then of the Labor Party. He went to Ceylon and India in pursuit of his spiritual researches. He committed himself to the rights of homosexuals and those of women from the years 1890-1900. At the end of his life, he moved with his companion George Merrill to Guildford. He died of an attack one year after Merrill. They are buried together at Guilford Cemetery.
