THE NECESSITY FOR LOVE: THE HISTORY OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS. by Rhodes, Clifford - 1972

London: Constable, 1972. 258 pp, 8vo (8 7/16" H). "Starting with the heroic age of Homer and ending with the Women's Liberation Movement, Clifford Rhodes reviews the major developments in the western tradition of relationships between people. He has drawn on the writings of philosophers, poets, theologians and psychologists to illustrate his theme - which broadly speaking is summed up in the one word 'Love'. The scope of the subject is wide and is examined in all its aspects from the sublime to the near pornographic." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - minor edgewear, tiny corner creases, light creases/wrinkles on spine, minor soiling on top/bottom of textblock, slight bump to bottom corner of book, old price inked out on rear cover.. Soft Cover. Very Good-.
