Book Synopsis
Drawing on novels, plays, and films of the 1920s and '30s, as well as the work of biologists, psychiatrists, and sexologists, this title brings together the experience and perception of modernity with sexuality, technology, and ecological concerns into a cogent discussion of science's place in reproduction in British and American cultural history.

Trade Review
"I know of no other work on interwar Britain, or even twentieth-century Britain, that brings together modernity, sexuality, technology, and the environment in quite this way. The result is extremely compelling and successful. It is certain to attract a great deal of interest from both scholars and a wider audience." (Stephen Brooke, York University)"
