"A Surgical Temptation reveals the history of the practice of, and the arguments for and against, circumcision in the United Kingdom from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Robert Darby has undertaken an extremely worthwhile topic that adds considerably to our knowledge of sexual attitudes and medical practices. It should be of interest to a wide range of audiences in the history of medicine, gender, and sexuality." - Lesley A. Hall, author of Sex, Gender, and Social Change in Britain since 1880"
