About this book

In this fascinating volume, English poet, philosopher and activist Edward Carpenter offers readers a sweeping theory of love and death that is informed by his knowledge of then-cutting-edge science. Drawing comparisons to the behaviors of simple organisms, animals, and past civilizations, Carpenter weaves a unified account of the meaning of life through the framework of these two cornerstones of human experience.
