Sex, love, and culture are central concepts of human life.

This volume, The Colonial and Revolutionary Age, the fourth book in the six-volume The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Love, Courtship, and Sexuality through History that covers its topic from antiquity to the present, explores sex, love, and culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The broad terms—sex, love, and culture—are covered here in many ways. Some of the entries, such as Ejaculation and Orgasm, cover the physical aspects of sex and sexuality. But this book encompasses more than just the physical, as important as it is. In this time of great political, religious, and social change, many movements, reforms, events, and individuals had an impact on sexuality and culture.

This volume is intended as a reference work for the general public and for students at various levels from high school through college who want to learn about the topic of sex and culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

For those who wish to learn more about the topic, each entry concludes with a list of further readings. In addition, the volume also includes a Select Bibliography of important information resources as well as an appendix offering annotated listings of relevant films and useful Web sites.
