Little Essays of Love and Virtue

"Little Essays of Love and Virtue" by Havelock Ellis is a set of writings that looks at the main ideas of love and what is right and wrong, seemingly from around the start of the 1900s. Ellis wants to speak to young people, especially teenagers, offering easy-to-understand views on sex and friendships. The main idea in these essays is how love, being good, and the tricky parts of how people connect all work together. To begin, the book shares the writer's thoughts on the hard link between parents and their kids. Ellis looks closely at how people parent now, thinking about how people used to raise kids long ago, noting the need for care as well as rules. He thinks about how parenting has changed over time and points out that it is important to give kids space and advice as they grow up. By talking about these things, the book prepares us to seriouslyexamine love and being virtuous in what will come, setting up the idea of growing as a person and being a good member of society as part of family and the world.
