A unique and cutting edge look at the West's fascination with, and misunderstanding of castrated males, taking in the sweep of Western thought on 'the operation'.
Castration is a lively history of the meaning, function, and act of castration from its place in the early church to its secular reinvention in the Renaissance as a spiritualized form of masculinity in its 20th century position at the core of psychoanalysis.

His books include CulturalSelection: Why Some Achievements Stand the Test of Timeand Others Don't and Reinventing Shakespeare: A CulturalHistory from the Restoration to the Present.
