I n 1809 t h I r t y e I g h t y e a r o l d ship’s surgeon James Nehemiah Taylor was caught in the act of sodomy with his helper on a naval vessel at sea. After being court-martialed in the port of Portsmouth, the doctor was sentenced to death. During the two weeks before the execution, the marine chaplain tried to sway him to repentance by, for instance, organizing a church service, attended by the crew and the convicted man, which centered the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. This did not keep Taylor from presenting to the chaplain an image of God that differed slightly from the wrathful supreme being who set these cities ablaze. Taylor, a well-read man who was familiar with Voltaire and other “infidel authors,” did not consider himself a sinner. He believed in God as creator, but in his view, God did not run the world in inscrutable and punishing ways. God was merciful and understanding of human frailties, especially when these “were implanted in our nature and constitution.”1 That Taylor frequently had given way to his irresistible urges did not, he stressed, detract from his moral righteousness—and this, after all, served as the base for community spirit and responsible handling of civil rights and freedom of religion.

Gynecological texts combine ideas about nature, health, magic, and religion and draw from sources originating from all over Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Denmark did not produce any solely gynecological manuscripts in the Middle Ages; however, it did produce a number of more general medical texts that include a large number of gynecological cures. While medieval gynecological tracts in continental Europe have been studied extensively, the focus in Scandinavian research has largely been on other sources of knowledge about women’s health. There have been, for example, studies on the archaeological evidence for infanticide and death in childbirth, descriptions of birth and parental relationships in religious and miracle texts, discussions of the role of magic in birth, and examinations of depictions of birth in artworks and ballads.1 Grethe Jacobsen’s 1984 survey of possible sources for details on childbirth examines all of the above varieties of evidence.

I n 1965 t h e s o c I o l o g I s t M I c h a e l s c h o f I e l d published the first major survey of teenage sexuality in Britain.1 Researchers from the Central Council for Health Education had interviewed more than eigh teen hundred young people between age fifteen and nineteen. Beyond ask ing these teenagers about their attitudes toward sex, the survey prompted them to assess their levels of sexual knowledge and to evaluate the sex education they had received. Most notably, the survey recorded details of their sexual practice, including incidences of kissing, “petting,” and pene trative intercourse. The somewhat “unsensational” central finding of the research was that “premarital sexual relations are a long way from being universal . . . for well over threequarters of the boys and girls in our sample have never engaged in them.”2 Underpinning Schofield’s study was an assumption that there was something distinctive about teenage sexuality and that accounts of modern sexuality were missing something by having neglected to consider young people’s sexual attitudes and practices. Schofield’s survey was certainly a turning point in studies of British sexuality insofar as it was the first major study to interrogate premarital sexuality. However, Schofield’s impulse to investigate and quantify teenage sexuality was indicative of a longerterm shift in which sexuality became increasingly understood as an organizing marker of the life cycle.
