Clerics and municipal officials not only tolerated prostitution, but were often its principal beneficiaries, owning and frequenting brothels quite openly. The explanation of this remarkable state of affairs is one topic covered in this book, which reconstructs a part of medieval society that has previously received relatively little attention. Drawing upon research in medieval archives, the author shows that most 15th-century Frenchwomen could expect a life of constant subjugation to male desire. Rape was common and considered a minor crime - the rape of a chambermaid, for example, was considered less serious than stealing a penny. The author then considers whether public prostitution might paradoxically have been seen by the secular and religious authorities as a means of social control, and of preserving marital stability: the virtue of wives and daughters was best protected by the existence of public brothels, where sexual urges could be satisfied without adultery and rape. The social background of the prostitutes, brothel-keepers, pimps, and their clientele is described. The typical procuress was not a depraved and marginal figure, but the wife of a craftsman, running the business with the approval of her husband. Most prostitutes had been forced into the profession, usually after rape and subsequent social ostracism. Yet prostitutes were not pariahs: they had extensive and sometimes elevated social contacts, and were often able to enter into respectable marriages. Medieval Prostitution will be of considerable interest to medieval historians, as well as to students of the history of the family and sexuality.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A hard to find academic work on the history of prostitution in Medieval France.
