Book excerpt: This scientific survey of history of prostitution from antiquity to the twentieth century is one of the first comprehensive studies of this sociological phenomenon of our time. George Ryley Scott writes this treatise in reaction to the lack of literature on the subject at this time, dismissing the only volumes available as outdated, fragmentary or prejudiced- as they were often sponsored by reformist groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Prostitution, Vol. 2: Among All the Peoples of the World, From the Most Remote Antiquity to the Present Day T was under the emperors, it was under the preverse influ ence of their depraved manners, it was by their example and at their unhealthy instigation that Roman society made frightful progress in that corruption which ended by disorganizing it and by preparing the way for the triumph of Christian morality. This pure and holy morality had, indeed, shot a few precursory rays of light into pagan philosophy; but its counsels were with out force and without effect, because they were not yet backed by religious authority, because they did not flow from dogma itself, and because they remained strangers to the prevailing cult. The religion of the false gods, on the contrary, appeared to give a permanent lie to those philosophic doctrines which tended to render man better by making him more self-respecting, and more deserving, at the same time, of the esteem of others. This re ligion, wholly material and wholly sensual, could not prove suffi cient to elevated minds and noble hearts, which the Gospel of Christ found ready and waiting; but it required centuries of mysterious labor in the depths of souls in order to assimilate them in a manner to the new faith, the new morality. All the excesses of lust, all the outbursts of passion, all the quests of pleasure were the result of an extreme civilization, which knew no religious bridle and which aspired to no other end than the satisfaction of the most brutal egoism. Never was this egoism pushed further than in the age of the Caesars, who were, so to speak, its monstrous personification.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Prostitution Among All the Peoples of the World, From the Most Remote Antiquity to the Present Day, Vol. 3 The decree of Parliament of the sixth of March, 1497 (1496, according to the Pascalian calendar), leaves no doubt that the plague of Naples had reigned throughout the realm from the year 1494, but the date of its invasion of each particular province and city had not yet been determined. The municipal and consular archives furnish a number of precise documents on this point. Astruc, in his great monograph, has cited only two facts which in dicate the introduction of the plague of Naples among the Romans at Dauphine and at Puy en Velay in the year 1496: The malady of las bubas, say the records of the University of Manosque, was brought that year by certain Roman soldiers in Dauphine, who were in the service of the King and of the most illustrious Duke of Orleans, into the city, their fatherland, which was still healthy and which had not yet made the acquaintance of this malady, a malady which no longer reigned in Provence. In an unpublished chronicle of the city of Puy en Velay, the author, Esteve de Meges, a bourgeois of that city (reports that the grosse verole had appeared for the first time at Puy in the course of the year 1496. The extract from the records of Manosque is very precious in that it tends to prove that the army of Charles VIII, on its return from the expedition to Naples, had been infected with a new malady, and that this malady had manifested itself in the year 1495 all along the route followed by the debris of this army, which returned to France in disorganized hands after the battle of Fomoua. The soldiers who brought the plague of Naples to the Romans had, undoubtedly, formed a part of the rear guard who shut themselves in Novare with the Duke of Orleans, and who.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Prostitution, Vol. 1: Among All the Peoples of the World, From the Most Remote Antiquity to the Present Day The hour has, therefore, come to write the history of Prostitu tion, at a time when she is tending more and more to elf ace her self from the memory of man as from the customs of nations. The historian deals with times which are no more; he resuscitates dead things; he reanimates the past and causes it to live again, for the instruction of the present and the future; he gives a body and a voice to tradition. The vast and curious subject which we are going to treat, with the aid of erudition and under the censor ship of the severest prudence, this subject - at once delicate and suspect, attaches itself on all sides to the history of religions, of laws, and of manners; though it has been constantly placed in the discard and, as it were, on the index by those historians occupied with ancient and modern manners, laws, and religions. The archeologists alone, such as Meursius, Laurentius, Musonius, etc., have dared to attack the subject, writing on it Latin dissertations, in which the language of J uvenal and Petronius might at its ease braver l'honnetete both in words and in fact.

Download or read book Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World written by Christopher A. Faraone and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2008-03-14 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World explores the implications of sex-for-pay across a broad span of time, from ancient Mesopotamia to the early Christian period. In ancient times, although they were socially marginal, prostitutes connected with almost every aspect of daily life. They sat in brothels and walked the streets; they paid taxes and set up dedications in religious sanctuaries; they appeared as characters—sometimes admirable, sometimes despicable—on the comic stage and in the law courts; they lived lavishly, consorting with famous poets and politicians; and they participated in otherwise all-male banquets and drinking parties, where they aroused jealousy among their anxious lovers. The chapters in this volume examine a wide variety of genres and sources, from legal and religious tracts to the genres of lyric poetry, love elegy, and comic drama to the graffiti scrawled on the walls of ancient Pompeii. These essays reflect the variety and vitality of the debates engendered by the last three decades of research by confronting the ambiguous terms for prostitution in ancient languages, the difficulty of distinguishing the prostitute from the woman who is merely promiscuous or adulterous, the question of whether sacred or temple prostitution actually existed in the ancient Near East and Greece, and the political and social implications of literary representations of prostitutes and courtesans.

Download or read book The History of Prostitution written by Vern L. Bullough and published by New Hyde Park, N.Y., U. Books. This book was released on 1964 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this time of heated debate over pornography in general and prostitution in particular, Vern and Bonnie Bullough present a fascinating look at the social and historical context of the "world's oldest profession." The History of Prostitution is a panorama of the forms and practices prostitution has assumed in many cultures over many centuries. Based on the assumption that one cannot understand prostitution without first understanding the role of women in society, this volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the historical, sociological, and anthropological background of prosititution. The authors expose the inextricable interweaving of scores of cultural dilemmas: women as property, pornography and the fear of sexuality, religion and promiscuity, sex and social class, and the control of venereal disease. The authors conveys the tragedy and humor, the fortitude and cunning, the veniality and generosity, the real and counterfeit sensuality, and the hypocrisy and pathos that surround the lives of prostitutes. The beautiful, the powerful, the talented, and the most outrageous are here: Lais, Tamar, Pompadour, Du Barry, Emma Hamilton, Lola Montez and Calamity Jane. But in addition to these tales of the illustrious, these pages are filled with the experiences of the anonymous and the abused. An important reading for feminists, police, religious leaders, civil libertarians, the general public, and prostitutes themselves. All will benefit from this useful, sympathetic and illuminating book.
Download or read book Love for Sale written by Nils Johan Ringdal and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] enlightening and entertaining . . . survey of the world’s oldest profession” from the Whore of Babylon to the modern sex-worker movement (Kirkus Reviews). From Eve and Lilith to Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, the prostitute has been both a target of scorn and a catalyst for social change. In Love for Sale, cultural historian Nils Johan Ringdal delivers an authoritative and engaging history of this most maligned, yet globally ubiquitous, form of human commerce. Beginning with the epic of Gilgamesh, the Old Testament, and ancient cultures from Asia to the Mediterranean, Ringdal considers the varying way societies have dealt with and thought about prostitutes through history. He discusses how they were included in the priestess class in ancient Greece and Rome; how the rise of the courtesan in nineteenth-century Europe shaped literature, fashion, the arts, and modern sensibilities. He uncovers the first manuals on the art of sex and seduction, the British Empire’s campaigns against prostitution in India, and stories of the Japanese “comfort women” who served the armies in the Pacific theater of World War II. Ringdal closes with the rise of the sex-workers’ rights movement and ‘sex-positive” feminism, and a realistic look at the true risks and rewards of prostitution in the present day. Recalling Camille Paglia’s Sexual Personae with its broad sweep across centuries and continents, Love for Sale “uses [its] subject as a springboard for exploring the ever-changing notions of love, sexual identity, morality and gender among various cultures” (Nan Goldberg, Newark Sunday Star-Ledger).
