Author(s): George Ryley Scott

SECONDHAND BOOKS | HISTORY

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treatise in reaction to the lack of literature on the subject at his time, dismissing the only volumes available as outdated, fragmentary, or prejudiced, as they were often sponsored by reformist groups.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

1996, Reprint. A near fine copy only marked by light age tanning of the pages.
