Since this is an on-going listing, as I continue to catalog my personal library (as well as adding in suggestions from Archive members), I will post new additions in BLUE text, and convert them to black only after they have been up for a month. I will also list the dates of my most recent additions and the number of items added each time. My most recent additions were made:

February 24, 2013 (64 additions)

I have been gradually working through the information sources that I have found and have been typing up a proper bibliographic listing of them. Now that my listing has passed 200 items, I have decided to post it here on the Archive. It is divided into sections which I can easily edit as I add more materials. I will also add brief annotations of a few of the items as I continue my work.

If you know of items that I have missed, please send me a <Private Message> with the information and I will add it into the alphabetical listing in the proper section.

The four initial sections of the Bibliography will be

Castration and Eunuchs (divided into short sections to allow space for additions)

Eunuchs in Fiction

Eunuchs in Film (Not just the quick presence of a eunuch or castration scene, but a eunuch as a major character. This is likely to be a rather short section unless others chime in. I watch very little film or TV.)

Castration-related publications (e.g., adrogen deprivation as treatment for prostate cancer, genital alterations other than castration or penectomy, etc.)

Most of the items posted on this bibliography are from my personal collection and now represent about three-quarters of what I have on my shelf. I will gradually catalog and list the rest of them. I will also add items that I do not own that have been suggested by other Archive members.

I have now included 2 items suggested by: Paolo

Pasqualini, Pauluccio, and Jeronimo (or Momo) ; with several observations on modern eunuchs ; occasion'd by a young lady's falling in love with Nicolini, who sung in the opera at the Hay-market, and to whom she had like to have been married

An illustrated children’s book of the life and voyages of Zheng He. Absolutely no hint that Zheng He was a eunuch. He is even pictured with a beard! The closest it comes is on the first page:

The admiral’s beginnings were humble. When Zheng He was only ten his father was killed in a rebellion in southwestern China and Zheng He was taken prisoner. This bright, tough boy soon had an unusual stroke of luck–he became the servant of Prince Zhu Di.

Zheng He’s father was a government official of a rival state that was defeated by the Chinese. The family was Muslim and the father had made the pilgrimage to Mecca. Many of the boys of the defeated Muslim state were made eunuchs at the time of conquest.

Most interesting for its analysis of eunuch “families” that can be traced through multiple generations. For example, Yang Zhilian, a eunuch in the late Tang Dynasty, adopted a young eunuch as his son. That son then adopted two young eunuchs and an intact boy (who seems to have dropped out of the records). Each of those eunuch sons then adopted another young eunuch, each of whom then adopted three intact boys – ending the line of eunuchs in the Yang family. Another example: Cao Shen (d. ca 193 BC) castrated his young son Cao Jie, who became a court eunuch under the Han Dynasty. Cao Jie adopted a young eunuch, who then, in turn adopted an intact boy. The intact boy’s son, Cao Cao, became regent to the Han emperor Xiandi and Cao Cao’s son overthrew the Han Dynasty and founded the short-lived Wei Dynasty (also known in history as the Cao Dynasty).

A quick survey of seven children, ages 7 and younger, treated at a hospital in Medellin, Colombia for traumatic loss of external genitals. One died before treatment, one, under 2 years of age, was reassigned as female. The one reassigned as female, at age 14, “demanded being again reassigned to the masculine sex. This has resulted in an extensive lawsuit to the University Hospital and to the Faculty involved in this patient’s care.”

In Vietnamese. A biography of the most important eunuch in Vietnamese history, published as a government document. Le Van Duyet (1764-1831) was the general who secured the southern part of Vietnam for the Nguyen Dynasty. Eunuchs were a part of the imperial court until the creation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. The French installed the former Emperor Dao Dai as “Chief of State” in the part of Vietnam that they controlled during the civil war, where he reigned until 1956. I can find no report of eunuchs in his court after 1945, but I expect that there were some.

Curtiss, Huston. (2003). Sins of the 7th Sister: A Novel Based on a True Story of the Gothic South. New York: Harmony Books.

The first printing – shredded by the publisher – had the subtitle “A Memoir.” Parts of the book are definitely history, parts fiction. Which is which is impossible to separate. One of the major characters is Stella Fancler, born Stanley Black, but castrated at age 10 (in 1923) by order of the court after he killed his abusive father. Stanley/Stella took up singing and later performed as female. There are several discussions of castration, both animal and human, but the critical one is on pp. 21-22 – while showing Stanley his room in the loft of the horse barn:

“But won’t you be afraid here in the barn, all by yourself?”

“It would be nice to be by myself. I never have been. Until my mother died, we lived, seven of us, in a space half this size.”

“I had no heard you had brothers and sisters.”

“Oh yes. My little brother Tubby, a woman came in a Model T and took him the first day – after – after – he was cute. And my two sisters were eight and nine. A woman came and said she was our cousin and took them. I don’t think she was – she was black. My brother Elmer went into the navy the day he was fifteen, that was the day my father beat him up and threw him out the door. I forgot about the time I was in the county hospital. I had a room to myself for two days.”

“When you were in the hospital?”

“Right after they did the inquest. They did to me what you do to the horses – the geldings.”

“My mother stopped rocking and shoved the chair back until it hit the wall. “You mean they castrated you? Those sons of bitches!”

“Judge Brown said I could go to prison with the other killers, or reform school. He said they were tough on pretty boys there. Or I could get fixed so it took the killer out of me, and go to the orphanage until I was sixteen. But no one would adopt me – who wants someone who killed his father? Even if the father had choked the mother to death and was lying on her dead body. And I didn’t say I killed him.”

“I don’t want you ever to tell me whether you killed him or not. I’ll tell you one thing, if I had been there, I would have killed him. And I’m not sure I may not just go into town and kill Judge Brown.”

A YOUNG ADULT novel about a group of high school students creating a musical with the title “Castration Celebration.” No castration involved, but it opens with the heroine/writer sitting in a courtyard typing a list of genital-based rhymes on her laptop: “menstruation, masturbation, elongation, lubrication, penetration, stimulation, fornication, copulation, urination, ejaculation, insemination.” It ends with the concluding lines of her play:

BIFF: “I’d fuck a sheep before I’d fuck another guy.”

SLUGGO: “I know you would, Biff. I know you would.”

Eunuchs in Film

The Conqueror [Zhengfuzhe] (1995)

Roughly based on Chinese history. Set at the end of the 1796-1804 White Lotus Rebellion against the Manchu/Qing Dynasty of China. The last rebel town is captured. Over 1000 fighting age men are executed by decapitation. All of the boys ages 8 through 15 are castrated. The women and the weak and aged (as well as the young boys) are sent into exile with instructions that all boys are to be castrated as soon as they reach 8 years old, as are to be any boys born to the exiled women. The goal is to completely exterminate the rebel group. The only survivor among the exiles is one woman who escapes and then gives birth to a son. The final line of the film is, “No historical records remain of Xiumei and her son. Her descendants may be living in our midst.” Mandarin, with English subtitles.

American Eunuchs (2003)

A very exploitative documentary. Shows both Dr. Felix Spector and “Gelding” on screen. See the comments of Archive members at

http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=5287

Eunuchs (2007)

A very good documentary with sympathetic portrayals of the individuals involved. Produced for television Channel 4 in the UK and not yet broadcast in the U.S. or Canada. Both Homptydumpty and Thefraj, who were formerly quite active on the Archive, figure prominently in this documentary. See comments at

http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=10715

Eunuchs in Qing Imperial Palace (清宮太監). From the series This is Beijing. 4 illustrated lectures (though mostly talking heads). In Chinese, with English subtitles. Published by People’s University of China.

Farinelli (1994)

A very fictionalized biography of the famous castrato. Nominated for an Academy Award as best foreign film. My favorite review of it is very brief: “Good yarn, great music, rotten history.”

Forbidden Imperial Tales (嫁到宮裡的男人). 1990. Chinese subtitles.

Set at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a young man becomes a eunuch to pursue a girl into the palace. Did not understand what “cleansing the body” meant until it was too late. Poor plot, poor acting.

King & I [Wang gwa Na] 2007-2008

South Korean historical drama aired in 66 one-hour episodes that revolve around the life of Kim Cheo Seon, the most famous eunuch in Korean history. Released on 21 DVD disks with English sub-titles.

Lai-Shi: The Last Eunuch in China [ Zhong Guo zui hou yi ge tai jian] 1988

90 minutes with some of the most strangely translated subtitles ever. Loosely based on the life of Sun Yaoting (1902-1996). See his biography written by Jia Yinhua listed above. Mandarin with "English" subtitles.

Royal Tramp [Lu ding ji] 2008

A Chinese TV series of 50 – 45-minute episodes based on a very popular novel by Jin Yong (AKA Louis Cha), “The Deer and the Cauldron” (which is the original Chinese title for the TV series.). The story revolves around a boy who is kidnapped into the Imperial Palace and impersonates a eunuch. He befriends the young emperor-to-be and rises to power. Set in the Qing Dynasty. 5 DVDs in Mandarin with English & Simplified Chinese subtitles.
