Summary "Histoire de la prostitution chez tous les peuples du monde depuis l'antiquité…" by Pierre Dufour is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the institution of prostitution, exploring its manifestations across various cultures and epochs, providing a comprehensive overview of this enduring social phenomenon. The opening of the book introduces the intricate relationship between fashion and morality, arguing that clothing styles reflect societal values and behaviors toward sexuality. Dufour begins by discussing the influence of luxury and extravagance on moral decay, emphasizing how historical costumes serve as indicators of a society's ethical standards. He observes that as fashion evolves toward more revealing and provocative styles, it mirrors a decline in public decency and highlights the interplay between changing social mores and the rise of prostitution throughout history. This sets the tone for an expansive exploration of how these elements interact across different cultures and times. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
