The Bullough Award, founded in 2003, is given for the most distinguished book written for the professional sexological community published in a given year.
The winning book for 2003 is Homosexuality & Civilization, by Louis Crompton, PhD (Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2003). The winning book for 2004 is The Long Sexual Revolution: English Women, Sex, and Contraception 1800-1975, by Hera Cook, PhD (Oxford University Press, 2004). The awards were announced on November 5, 2005 at the Atlanta conference of the Eastern & MidContinent Regions of SSSS. The awardees were formally recognized at the 47 th annual meeting of SSSS, November 9-12, 2006 in Las Vegas.
Louis Crompton is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Nebraska. Homosexuality & Civilization explores the rich and terrible past of same-sex love, setting the Christian West alongside the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome, Arab Spain, imperial China, and pre-Meiji Japan. Dr. Crompton looks at homosexuality from a comparative and historical point of view, bringing together much recent scholarship into a comprehensive, detailed, and well-written book, accessible to both professional historians and interested readers of all backgrounds. The book is illustrated with numerous engravings and reproductions, some in color.
Hera Cook is Lecturer in History at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. The Long Sexual Revolution draws on newly revealed evidence to report how Victorian sexual restraint emerged to control high birth rates, which were placing physical and economic burdens upon women and, to a lesser extent, upon men. This intense restraint led to the profound sexual ignorance that has left a legacy of distress and inhibition still enduring today. Not until effective, safe contraception gradually appeared in the early 20 th century did controls over sexuality begin to relax, a long process culminating in the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s. Parallels with the United States are made throughout.
