"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. This extensive work explores the complex and often hidden history of prostitution across different cultures and eras, beginning with ancient civilizations and continuing to modern times. The author intends to analyze the evolution of prostitution as it relates to societal morals, legal frameworks, and religious practices. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of prostitution's definitions and manifestations throughout history. Dufour discusses the difficulties in defining prostitution, acknowledging its various forms, including sacred and legal prostitution practiced in ancient cultures such as Babylon and Greece. He introduces the concept of prostitution as an integral part of human society, tied to instincts and customs rather than purely moral failings, and indicates that the historical account will focus on how these practices reflect societal attitudes towards women and sexuality, establishing a comprehensive foundation for the subsequent analysis of prostitution across different civilizations and time periods.
