History of Prostitution - From Antiquity to the Present Day

Informationen zum Autor George Ryley Scott Klappentext First published in 2006. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis! an informa company. Zusammenfassung 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treatise in reaction to the lack of literature on the subject at this time, dismissing the only volumes available as outdated, fragmentary or prejudiced- as they were often sponsored by reformist groups. Thus, Scott presents us with a refreshingly honest and nonbiased view of prostitution as it was throughout history up until its first publishing in 1936.
