    6 Freethought and Free Love? Marriage, birth control and sexual morality uestions of sex were central to Secularism. Even those Freethinkers who desperately sought respectability for the movement found Q it impossible to avoid the subject, for irreligion was irrevocably linked in the public mind with sexual license. Moreover, the Freethought movement had, since the beginning of the nineteenth century, been home to some of the leading advocates of sexual liberty, birth control and marriage reform. A complex relationship existed between these strands of sexual dissidence – sometimes conficting, at other times coming together to form a radical, feminist vision of sexual freedom. If a ‘Freethinking’ vision of sexual freedom existed, it certainly did not go uncontested by others in the movement. Nevertheless, the intellectual and political location of organised Freethought made it fertile ground for a radical re-imagining of sexualCIRCULATION norms and conduct. Te Freethought renunciation of Christianity necessarily entailed a rejection of the moral authority of the Church, particularly its role in legitimising sexual relations. Secularists were therefore required to fnd a new basis for morality, and questions of sex were at the centre of this project to establish new ethical criteria. In some cases Secularists’ rejec- tion of Christian asceticism and their emphasis on the material world could alsoFOR lead to a positive attitude to physical passions in both men and women. Te central Freethinking principle of free enquiry necessi- tated a commitment to open discussion of sexual matters, and while this ofen generated a great deal of anxiety, the majority of the movement’s leadership supported the need for free discussion.

  • Charles Bradlaugh
    Charles Bradlaugh Charles Bradlaugh (/ˈbrædlɔː/; 26 September 1833 – 30 January 1891) was an English political activist and an atheist and British republican. He founded the National Secular Society in 1866.[1] In 1880, Bradlaugh was elected as the Liberal MP for Northampton. His attempt to affirm as an atheist, rather than take a parliamentary Oath of Allegiance which as- sumed a new MP was a Christian (and a Monarchist), ultimately led to his temporary imprisonment, fines for voting in the Commons illegally, and a number of by- elections at which Bradlaugh regained his seat on each occasion. He was finally allowed to take an oath in 1886. Eventually, a parliamentary bill which he pro- posed became law in 1888 which allowed members of both Houses of Parliament to affirm, if they so wished, when being sworn in. The new law also resolved the issue for witnesses in civil and criminal court cases. 1 Early life Born in Hoxton (an area in the East End of London), Bradlaugh was the son of a solicitor’s clerk. He left school at the age of eleven and then worked as an office errand- 2 Activism and journalism boy and later as a clerk to a coal merchant.

INTRODUCTION Feminist jurisprudence is about breaking silences. It is about identifying topics that are "unspeakable" in law and culture and raising questions about why that is. It is about exposing ways in which silencing works to regulate.' This Article presents a case study of the feminist jurisprudence of three early birth control advocates: Annie Besant, Jane Hume Clapperton, and Marie Stopes. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the subject of birth control was so taboo that serious efforts were made to keep John Stuart Mill from being buried in Westminster Abbey because of his sympathies with the idea of limiting family size.2 Despite this cultural climate, Annie Besant published a tract on birth control and defended herself in court against charges of obscene libel for doing so,' Jane Hume Clapperton advocated the use of birth control in a novel,4 and Marie Stopes wrote two runaway bestsellers on the topic and opened the first birth control clinic in England.' While the actual practice of birth control was not illegal in England, as this case study will show, it was highly dangerous to * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law.

Robertson and Shaw: Ail "Unreasonable Friendship" O d i n D ek k e r s Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen THE MANUSCRIPT DEPARTMENT of the British Library houses a sm all collection of letters which throws an interesting light on the relationship between two extraordinary literary figures of the late- nineteenth-early twentieth century: John Mackinnon Robertson and George Bernard Shaw.1 While their present reputations could not be further apart--the one virtually unknown and the other the centre of a vast literary industry-—-for several years their careers ran parallel, and even when they later went quite separate ways, they maintained a friendship that finally lasted over forty years. It was, admittedly, a relationship that was often far from harmonious, and Robertson him­ self, a rationalist to the core, described it somewhat uneasily as “unrea­ sonable.”2 On political, literary, and personal grounds the two men had much to disagree about, but it seems that they both found, as we shall see, that disagreement could be as stimulating as it was often exasper­ ating* This principle sustained their friendship over quite a few more years than an outsider might find plausible. The Robertson-Shaw relationship has not been one that Shaw’s biographers have particularly bothered about.
